  1.  @مدمنكورة-معتزحفني  Why are you only concerned about environmental impacts when it comes to batteries? Why aren't you concerned about acidifying oceans, acid raid, temperature increases, sea level increases, or particulate pollution?

  5.  @johng4527  No, you're contradicting yourself. You just said that the existence of a consumer preference for inferior goods is harming automakers and also created by them.

  73. That's pretty insane. Your engine block is a huge heat sink. It takes like an hour for an engine to cool off. The pump can use the residual heat for a while.

  75. Yeah, those oil corporations just burnt leaded gasoline for no reason. Consumers didn't benefit from using gasoline at all.

  78. A civic burns less than 1mL of fuel to recharge a battery from a start.
    1
  79. ​ @HerbertPetra  Your math is WAY off. You multiplied 1mL by six orders of magnitude. A corrected version of this video would increase the break-even time to 7.017 seconds. Some guy did this math on the physics StackExchange thread "Calculating engine starter’s energy use".

  80.  @HerbertPetra  How do you figure that's only 6 seconds worth of idling? You're using completely different numbers than this video uses.
