      Depends on your philosophy. If you believe carbon footprint/population control you should be guilt free. Mind that shell populized the carbon footprint.

    We still don’t have affordable alternatives for areas where there is no public transportation or non-car options. A lot of people are barely paying their bills and can’t even consider buying an electric car right now. Not that electric cars are really the answer either. We have a long way to go from where I stand.

      Interesting tidbit about public transport: there are electric busses. Those busses are used in the northern hemisphere, mainly to advertise to the public how “eco friendly the company is” to consumers. Those busses are heated by diesel aggrigators, and require to burn more fuel than what driving a diesel bus would need for the routes. And apparently diesel busses do not require this kind of upkeep when on standby.

        A quick search does not yield a single site backing up your claim. Do you have a source?
