Heh, heh, heh. It appears there was one person (not you) who latched
onto what was clearly sarcasm "why go with an oil sands guzzling
internal combustion scooter when you could have a clean eco friendly
vehicle that runs on the laughter of small children.", to be
disagreeable. I just have to laugh.

With a 34-gallon fuel tank, I can shift the pollution from my big
block Chebby pretty much anywhere I want to.

Ah. "I was only trolling"
Oh dear, Don decides he's going to come good on his promise and keep on
taking pops. Truly tragic. And in a thread where he's moaning about
off-topic and odd posts, the irony is endless....

Not necessarily. Local generation can allow waste
heat scavenging for heating and air conditioning. It's
my understanding that this is already done on some
university campuses and hospitals.
