Can I keep my gas powered vehicles? seems like an easy answer At the current rate of consumption how many more years do we have with the known supplies? you might get your wish. after all the hoo hah about going pure electric, volvo has conceded it takes 100,00km of mileage to achieve the carbon offset emission from manufacture alone over a fuel car manufacture. not sure where those emissions might be produced. copper? or perhaps its the batteries. or maybe extensive use of lightweight metals? there are some issues that have not been addressed. whether anyone likes it or not CO2 is one big accounting exercise so it has to be taken into account. https://cleantechnica.com/2022/01/21/unpack...u-think-claims/ as to fuel reserves. there is still a lot. but CO2 treaties will limit drawing on and exploiting untapped fields. bio fuels may fill the niche as they offer an offset while you are growing the fuel base stock. i can't see myself buying a pure electric car in whats left of my life. simply because the numbers don't add up in CO2 terms. (and i am not a luddite, energy efficiency in buildings and clean energy is my work and i do it every day). i keep my mouth buttoned shut at dinner parties because for a certain class of australians electric cars are now a moral choice (but not a scientific one). what i probably will buy if i buy another car will be a hybrid. currently in australia hybrid car sales have gone through the roof. at least a lot of australians are not making moral choices but numbers driven choices. oddly they are doing better at CO2 reduction than the purists who want the tesla in the drive ( its become a kind of a "goodness" badge to have a T). |
