Popular Post Wazi Bat Posted February 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2020 Alright first I’ll be honest, I ride my wheel because its totes fun, but if I can claim some green cred why not. So, I thought I’d dive into EPAs Greenhouse Gas Emissions site and run the numbers. 1) On average one gallon of gasoline creates about 8,887 grams of CO2 when burned. 2) In the US vehicles on average produce about 411 grams of CO2 per mile. @ 21mpg on average. 3) 50cc Moped with a 100mile range produce about 89 grams of CO2 per mile. 4) The creation of 1 kWh of electricity produce on average 448 grams of CO2. Nevada has lots of solar, hydro and geo but on average. 5) My 9Bot1 has a 320Wh battery (OMG that’s pathetic) sigh… produce about 10 grams of CO2 per mile (15mi range). 6) The V10F of my dreams has a 960Wh battery produce about 8 grams of CO2 per mile (55mi range). With 178 miles on my 9Bot1 I’ve produced about 1780 grams of CO2 or about 4 average turds (~400 grams). Of note: One Fart produces 0.0063 grams of CO2. What this tells me? I need to convince my wife to let me buy that V10F…… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post FlyboyEUC Posted February 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2020 Lucky for you there is a website that calculates this all for you and tracks our EUCs as a whole. For what it is worth, I have saved roughly $1200 in gas in the past year. I have a relatively short commute though. That's about as much as the V10F. https://euc.world/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't need a wheel just roller skates, and rocket my way to work. Actually with her family they would just be amused as I blow out an o-ring.

atdlzpae Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) But farts are also methane, which as every connoisseur of cows is aware, is the new shiny ecological boogieman. Let's ban meat and make people sick! And let's ignore the reality of regenerative farming. Sorry, I've watched way too many vegan/ex-vegan/farming videos lately and I had to vent somewhere...
