Yep, I've already had that argument with my sons. Like a lot supposedly enviroment friendly ideas you need to have a look at the whole picture.
We have regulations that mandate that we have less CO2 emmissions (and others) from vehicles, but to do this you lose fuel efficiency. Waste vs stopping a gas that probably has nothing to do with global warming.
Unfortunately good old petroleum/diesel seems to still be the most efficient way to store energy for a car, bike, etc. Enough of this heresy!!!
Still you do have to admit that the Pious has been a big success for Toyota.
lol.. what a joke..
JC on TG already said long ago that the diesel Polo he drove was a half again better at efficiency than the Prius
Doesn't surprise me. Sounds exactly like wind power.
Haha there is one other major flaw with the prius as well.
It's farking ugly.
Not only is it inefficient and ugly, it's also dangerous. It runs "low rolling resistance" tyres. In other words skinny tyres with no grip. Good thing it makes practically no power.
The Lexus hybrid is even worse.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Old , ugly and inefficient? YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ME BEHIND MY BACK AGAIN!

Begone Hippy!

Is it a finite resource? How is oil 'made', and how do you measure how much there was, how much we've used, and how much there is left?
Logically it appears to be a finite resource, and it will be nice when we have the technology available to replace oil derivatives as a viable fuel source for our internal combustion engines, but NOW it's the best we have.
Sorry not really supposed to be a rant, but I have a sneaky suspicion that it's a wee while off before we do see a viable alternative, and that effeciency is the number one priority.
Oil is not even from this planet! As Immanuel Velikovsky finds in Worlds in Collision - the planet Venus was actually a comet which collided with earth,it's seas poured onto earth as the planets hit.Oil is extraterestrial - we''ll have to go to Venus to find anymore.
