2 corollaries to this are:
1. "Earth hour" does not reduce CO2 emissions by any amount despite the warm glow it gives the participants.
2. A significant number of plug-in hybrids can be recharged overnight without increasing CO2 emissions from power stations... they would just use up the excess off-peak electricity that gets wasted now... and the same amount of coal would still be burnt.
There would therefore be a nett benefit from replacing dino-fuelled cars with plugin hybrids.
