Every little bit helps. The next step would be to encourage Ferrari to build beautiful fast cars that are environmentally friendly. The technology is there.

well, i guess every bit helps. it will hardly make up for the years of pollution they’ve caused but it’s a step in the right direction.

Geni, you posted about 10 comments in the 30 minutes we were upgrading our software – so the comment script was blocking all. It\’s been re-enabled now.

Haha, lol. My comments go through in a hurry. Just trying to make my point that 210,000kWh a year is nothing to sniff at. Still, the comment filtering bot does seem fairly random, blocking swearing and insults is good, but as you can see from the above experiments, it also blocks ordinary english on occasion.

if you’re that embarassed about the article to stop any comments going through, simply acknowledge the mistake. blocking further comments is just unprofessional.

I’d love to know what rules the ‘your comment is awaiting moderation’ bot uses, because i can’t seem to get a further comment through, unless the author just wants this article to die quietly and has stopped commenting.

The estimated CO2 produced per kWh in Aus at around 1.3kg per kWh. Removing the typical 30pc dooms day mark-up still gives around 1kg per kwh. Italy has a similar power generation setup to Australia, so producing 210,000 kWh a year is saving 210 tonne of CO2 a year, or a touch less than 200 Ferrari 612’s using your bizarre estimate of 25,000km per yr. In reality the CO2 savings would be around 3 times that, or the equivalent of 600 ferrari 612’s, which is pretty impressive.

Looking forward to hearing what CA has done to reduce their carbon footprint. not a lot i bet.

Reading through lots of pro-green websites gives the estimated CO2 produced per kWh in Aus at around 1.3kg per kWh. Removing the typical 30pc dooms day mark-up still gives around 1kg per kwh.
