More in/from Grist
I found this post and the answers interesting and informative.
When their intentions are sincere I can live with the fact that some posters may not be up to speed on every aspect of what they post about, so long as questions are posed... and especially when they get answered. So thank you, EastBayBlue, you are obviously very smart and have done the research. That could come possibly across just as well without bashing others over the head?
The legislative impediment to going 4-wheel is interesting. And I agree needs further investigation and answering. I have to say as an ad-man that the thing can be as worthy as you like, but if it looks like it will fall over (amongst other stylistic shortfalls - then again the Prius isn't exactly slick to my eyes) it will suffer consumer resistance. And that needs addressing if these things are credible solutions to emissions.
Maybe you can help me here. I have taken our UK media to task with stories on these efforts before, when they stand next to one and gush that it is' 'pollution free'. By my best estimation, they are not, depending on the source of electricity to charge them. And even nuclear still produces pollution and greenhouse gasses in the form of steam, so really the exhaust pipe is just in another place.
Then there is the efficiency of energy transfer between generator to storage in vehicle at home, and then as a % of miles covered.
Maybe you could help educate me/us further?
I am glad to say, someone kindly has, at least in part, so please revisit the link above.
However, I fear in the same breath I had to share in return less than cheering news at the same time:
That's no car, it's an eco-quadricycle
