Laugh? I split my epicyclic ring.

Not that stupid dust to dust report. Of course if you include R&D
costs of new technology it is going to cost more. The point is that it
will eventually lower.


It doesn't include research and engineering but it does include
manufacturing which is relevant /if/ you want to lower CO2.

Accusing Prius drivers of being smug yet it's dicks like this
journalist and his ilk that seem so obsessed with the likes of Prius
drivers. Is it masturbatory material for them?


Buying a car that uses more fuel is not saving CO2.
If you like the car fine.. but don't claim you (as in Prius drivers) are
helping the environment when it is obviously untrue.
The same is true for electric cars and hydrogen powered cars.. they don't
actually help to reduce CO2 only the pollution on the road.



Until and unless the electricity is non fossil generated..you CAN choose
nuclear or wind electric as a supplier..
