Plus the emissions from internal combustion are much more “enviro-friendly” than landfilling old cadmiun-lead acid batteries for the electric vehicles.

Not to mention the environmental devastation caused by the mining of battery metals (nickel, cadmium, lead, etc.)

They weren’t Zambonis, they were Olympia ice-prep machines Zamboni’s primary competitor.

Yes, but they’re SO green. Like liberalism itself, the green intentions are always more important than whether something actually ‘works’.

I thought Zambonis (sp?) were powered by propane like some industrial lift trucks? Can’t get much cleaner than propane, right?

A battery-powered Zamboni? Who’s bright idea was that?!

There’ve been a lot of fails at these Olympics—the luge track, the torch, the Zamboni, and there was a problem with the timing at the start of the men’s & women’s biathalons the other day; some people were held too long and others too short.
