ARRA funding enabled the NYC Dept. of Transportation (DOT) to purchase a dozen brand new electric screeds, bringing the agency another step forward in greening its operations. These screeds replaced models that use diesel fuel and their introduction into the workforce moved the City from 100% emissions to 0% emissions technology.
Look at that machine. It paves streets in New York City. It handles the roughest potholes in the known world with ease. And it’s electric.
(Bonus: It also discretely sweeps hobos away to Jersey.)
The batteries that are used in electric and even hybrid cars have a much higher carbon footprint than that of an old clunker’s lifetime of running. That includes my uncles 14 year old Isuzu truck.
