I was reading the comments section after the article and one jumped out...
"It's not ZERO emmisions. It is defered emissions.
The electricity to charge it comes from somewhere and the carbon foorprint is moved to that location. Also the waste from the batteries when dead is another toxic thing to be dealt with."
I wish more people would understand that no unlike other groups who use propaganda to further their cause enviromental groups are often no better, they rave about the advantages but leave out the fact that all these batteries have a lifespan and will end up in waste facility, besides the plastic shells are.....you got it....petrolium byproduct....
Anyone who wants an example of the tree huggers using propoganda as opposed to informed education visit the groups STRIPE (S&M member) has on his sig line...and the issues they face with greenies wanting "no one can touch the f%&n forest" as opposed to proper forestry management...
K sorry rant over
