People rail about fuel- consuming unnecessarily big SUVs. I don\u2019t. <\/p>\n
I rail against the USE of them. Example. If I were lost in a desert and needed rescuing I would be so happy for a gas-guzzling Humvee \u2013 safe, well-equipped, powerful, etc to get me out of there. Regardless of my green-ness I would not like a guy on an electric powered scooter to be coming out for me.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, if I am at a caf\u00e9 down-town and want to meet a friend the scooter is OK. Not the Humvee. The difference is not in the technology but in its USE. <\/p>\n
