Think I'll stay out of this one.
And in a parallel universe, another guy is saying...Recharging batteries is a pain. I don't even like to recharge my phone! Batteries will start to loose their capacity year by year. Even with best use, they need to be replaced every whatever years. Recycling them is a pain for the environment. A damage to batteries due to an accident or something turns electric car into a bomb! I think currently its too early until new kind of betteries come to market. Companies like Tesla are making good money with people being too excited getting future technology! Buying a car that owner can't even really travel with it!! Hybrid cars make better sense.
Refilling a gas tank is a pain. I don't even like to refuel my lighter! Engines will start to wear out year by year. Even with best use, they need to be replaced every whatever years. Recycling them is a pain for the environment. A damage to gas tanks due to an accident or something turns ICE car into a bomb! I think currently its too early until new kind of fuels come to market. Companies like Gasla are making good money with people being too excited getting future technology! Buying a car that owner can't even really travel with it!! Hybrid cars make better sense.
My VTX1300 uses more fuel for every 100KM than my Chevy Volt does when running solely on gas, electric aside. Most decent sized motorcycles burn more than a Prius on a per 100/KM basis.
When you compare the weight and size difference between a motorcycle and a vehicle, you start to grasp how bad the fuel economy is on a motorcycle actually, so that statement isn't really true.

Yawn, here we go all over again with the preconceived notions and false information.
LOL... why would you even think for a split of a second that there was any chance in hell this would not happen quickly.
Have fun debating guys.
Because oil sands? Gutting the western economy won't be good for Canada.
The airline and shipping industry pollutes so much more than consumer vehicles. I don't know why the world acts like cars are killing the planet when these are the real contributors.

Also, there was already a thread about this in the Romper Room.
There's always some way to present the numbers so one industry, or one region, or one lifestyle, isn't the worst offender. Who cares? You eliminate GHG where you can.The airline and shipping industry pollutes so much more than consumer vehicles.

16 of the world’s largest ships can produce as much lung-clogging sulphur pollution as all the world’s cars.
