Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I just saw this in the Hybrid Car Q&A column today:
A variety of reputable investigators have concluded that 85-90 percent of energy use and global warming emissions attributable to a vehicle over its entire lifecycle come from operation. Only 10-15 percent is production and disposal. This is true for both hybrids and conventional vehicles.
In order to achieve a net reduction in per-mile global warming emissions, (i.e. to offset the additional emissions from manufacturing and disposing of another vehicle) the new vehicle will have to get 10-20 percent better fuel economy than the old vehicle.

Dictionary.com says, "unobvious," and I finally came up with Omar Khayyam. Still, I made you think for a minute, didn't I? Tomorrow, on another episode of "Emily unexpectedly asks you to come up with trivia," I'll be asking for an explanation of the crankshaft at three in the morning after several drinks.
