If you lose power the electric motor may supply power.
cars, computers, houses, factories, electric and hydroelectric power, furniture
The demand for power keeps increasing as more factories are built, larger homes are built, population increases, and people upgrade to larger television sets and more powerful air conditioners. Also, the adoption of electric vehicles will require more electricity.
There are about 5,800 fossil fuel power stations in the US. (Information the the US Energy Commission).

By reducing the pollution from factories, power stations and vehicles, so slowing the enhanced greenhouse effect.

Is it actually true that "few lichen survive near power stations?" If one take the opening premise that "few lichen survive near power stations" as true, then it is probably down to the fact that power stations (excluding Hydro-electric, waste-burning & nuclear, or in other words "fossil fuel" fired) tend to be sited in highly developed and industrialised locations, as that is where the power is needed the most. The high level of development and industrialisation mean that the location is prone to high levels of pollution from transport, factories, homes, etc. It is perhaps the pollution from the surrounding "city" the lichens have trouble coping with, not the power station.
There are no refueling stations for electric cars, as none are in production this is not an issue. The range of an electric car is still too short to make them usable for most of the planet. Hybrids are normal gas powered autos that convert power to electric before it moves.
