Everything with associated with greenism always turns out to be more
expensive than first estimated.
In other green news, faith in government delivers an unintended outcome:
"Large cars with powerful six-cylinder and V8 engines have embarrassed the
organisers of a fuel economy challenge by taking out the top three spots. "
"The Eco Challenge, which finished in Adelaide yesterday, was won by a
Holden performance ute with a 6.2-litre V8 engine, which finished ahead of
10 smaller cars with tiny four-cylinder engines . "
"The organisers had designed the event to show off the environmental impact
of small cars . [but] small cars were pushed down the rankings because the
winner was the car that could most improve on its official fuel consumption.
"
Says Eco Challenge event director Chris Selwood:
"We will be looking at the parameters for a future competition."

"It is a remarkable fact that despite the worldwide expenditure of perhaps
US$50 billion since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists
worldwide, no human climate signal has yet been detected that is distinct
from natural variation."

The real laughing matter here is how these results were calculated. Nothing
could be more misleading. The powerful V8 and 6 cyl engined cars were not
the most fuel efficient- by a long way. The results published here are
merely 'how much better these cars performed than their own published fuel
consumption figures'. The V8s and 6s are certainly not fuel efficient- not
by this or any other measure. |
