Great post, star & flagged.
This is the new scam for the 21st century. There is nothing wrong with reducing out footprint on this planet. Just being aware of our impact goes
along way, but when data is being falsified to justify government investment into this new industry and to scare people into this sense of impending
doom is wrong. Its such a PC topic that even questioning data gets you labeled a crazy....
I think anyone involved in lying about this information should lose thier jobs and possibly face some kind of charges.
When it comes to the environment I believe people and business can get big results by doing very little. We don't have to all switch to driving
hybrids tommorow. ( The toyota prius has actually one of the worst impacts on the environment of all cars due to its construction process )
For Example:
From the Nov 08 Road & Track, pg 40.
"UPS redesigned its routes so drivers would make the minimum amount of left turns"
Now what kind of effect do you think little change has?
"As a result, the company trimmed 30 MILLION MILES off its deliveries in 2007 and saved the cost of 3 MILLION GALLONS of gas. It reduced truck
emissions by 32,000 METRIC TONS equivalent to the emissions of 5300 passanger cars."
All that from just not turning left!
