Я послала ссылку своему не ЖЖ френду. Делюсь его мнением:
Looks very much like hand-waving and numbers looks taken from the ceiling.
Look: prius takes 50% more energy to produce than hammer. OK. X it takes to produce Hammer, 1.5*X prius.
Now, divide this 1.5*X per 100K miles and you will get $3.25
X = 2.1 *100000 = $2100000 - so, just energy to produce Hammer is $210K? How they sell it for $50K
OK, but also Divide X per 300K and you will get $1.95. So, X - 585000...
Not only numbers are rather strange, they even contradict each other. There could be some sense behind that, but this specific piece looks like naive Primus bashing that pretends to be objective using random numbers.
