Re: [FLPERMACULTURE] Hybrids Consume More Energy
2006-07-14 10:47:04 UTC
As the owner of a 2002 Prius, I find the following information troubling, if not downright unhelpful. It seems to me that this is an example of finding and using numbers to tell whatever story one wants to. First, no information on the Prius was included. There is a statement that uses the echo as the comparison car. Dead wrong. The Prius has many luxury features that are simply unavailable on the echo. It rides better, is quieter and simply is a much better put together car. A better comparison would be the Camry. Second, there is the statement that only .10/mile is attributed to gas usage. Obviously that number changes substantially. If gas gets near $4/gallon as some are predicting by the end of the summer, and if $2/gallon was used when these numbers were run (this would not be unusual), I suspect that the impact is more than just saying only that gas will account for .20/mile. I do agree that of the following list, only the civic and civic hybrid comparison are really valid.

The course you are describing is very similar to a class I am teaching at the Univ of Wisconsin-Madison called Systems Thinking and Sustainable Businesses. Information about the class - including the syllabus - can be found at http://instruction.bus.wisc.edu/teggert/systemsthinking.html Email me directly if you have any questions.

I use Bill McDonough's book, Cradle to Cradle because the students continue to love it.
