On the same day TTAC ran Martin Schwoerer’s review of the C1 ev’ie, comes word that the diminutive EV has been named the official rental car of the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen. Apparently the auto rental firm Sixt ordered a bunch of the ev’ies, becoming the first car rental company with electric options. And of course, it just happened to make them available in Copenhagen in time for the conference, so delegates would have an alternative to the Climate Express. Sadly, none of the delegates were environmentally aware enough to arrive on electric airplanes.

Apparently the CO2 output of this thing is going to be more than the country of Switzerland in 2006. However, I'm supposed to unplug my TV everytime I turn it off to "save" the world.
How fitting that a car which sweeps its emissions under the rug should be held up as a symbol of a political conference which has been accused of doing the same thing with inconvenient climate change data. What a joke. There is nothing "green" about any of this.
It would have been marvelous if the transoceanic hypocrites and parasites flew there in electric planes. With a 300 mile or so flight range.
