    All very good, but there would be hundreds by now if the permitting was streamlined and more affordable, and if the NIMBYism that slows down or kills so many ecologically sound projects was given less of an ear. Hope it gets easier for the little laneway homes :-)

    A great deal if energy goes into building trucks. Not sure about commercial trucks, but almost as much energy goes into making a car as it will eventually use, so throwing away old ones before their time is not a clear cut advantage at all.
