Mirror Mirror on the wall, Who is greenest of them all?
This is a test. Which of these three vehicles do you think was responsible for the most carbon dioxide emissions per year in Alberta? Each vehicle was listed for sale in the Alberta Kijiji on line marketplace in late April 2021, cherry picked by the Red Neck to make a point. So if you smell a rat, you are correct. The Tesla is only four years old as this is written, but has managed to rack up an impressive 171,000 kilometers. The little Civic is also extremely well used, 480,000 km and counting. The truck on the other hand, has accumulated 82,327 km over 7 years, which for Alberta means it's mostly a lawn ornament. Comparison will use the average mileage, or kilometerage per year for each vehicle, so the Tesla's impact will be based on 42,750 km per year, Honda has been motoring along for 15 years, so 32,000 km PA, the dumb truck could only manage 11,761 diesel burning km a year. But wait the Tesla is electric, so zero emissions right? Well no, not exactly. Batter
