Really you need to know the carbon cost of manufacturing the new car (and the old car) and figure out what the manufactoring CO2 cost is amortized over the lifespan. And of course driving cars longer would reduce the amortized cost. I'd love to see a calculator that took this into account, but I've never seen one.William Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01137759014585021440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085110.post-9711858185588929022008-03-03T14:40:00.000-08:002008-03-03T14:40:00.000-08:00Does the calculator fully consider the impact of R...Does the calculator fully consider the impact of REPLACING an existing automobile? What will be the downstream impact of the existing car? I would guess that unless you have an EXTREMELY inefficient car, or drive very long distances, keeping the old card is going to have less impact than replacing it, no matter how efficient the new one is.ambermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425276052810373738noreply@blogger.com
