What's the breakeven point for ICE vehicles when the CO2 output of oil exploration, drilling, extraction, transport, refining, distribution, and consumption is taken into account?
Well, exploration etc is a bit of a sunk cost, but the Prof involved did revise his caclulations to include oil extraction etc, among others based on criticisms ... seems like a reasonably scientific approach although of course a lot of estimates involved!
