green electricity company? they just use coal power and add 10aud to your bill. 10aud times 1million customers is 10million a month. way to go.

the extra money you put in wouldnt translate into 100% reinvested into making wind farms etc. its problably more like 9 dollars in someone’s bank account. 1 dollar for the windfarm piggy bank.

its problably a badly managed company.

Seeing as this is caradvice.COM.AU, I don’t know of any green electricity company is Australia.

Last time I did a search online, the closest I came was a company that uses a combination of Solar, Wind and Coal (I guess when it’s not sunny or windy).

Back on topic… My 405 was Pininfarina designed. Shame to see the company go down like that. But if it did, I’d hope some rich, Russian Entrepreneur fanatic comes along and revives the brand, much like TVR.

Not sure whats going on with these Italian design houses, but Bertone is also in bad fiscal shape…

All the best for both of them!

A, no CO2 emissions means it does not create CO2 emissions per KM as it drives – of course u can argue that the electricity cam come from solar energy etc..

Some of their designs are modern classics. It would be a shame to see them disappear.

And not all electricity generation is derived from burning fossil fuels. Especially in Europe where there is far more generated by solar, wind and nuclear power. Unlike here.

They even designed my old Peugeot 504! And many other Pugs besides that one.

Yes, they’re a great company and I hope they can survive this one.

Electric means it has no CO2 emissions? Where do you think the electricity comes from?!
