Now we can finally make use of all those pods which fall off those Compressedair Trees!

No, it runs on whatever you burn to compress the air, most likely coal or nuclear fission, the compressed air is just an energy storage medium;)

Spot on wolf, it just moves the carbon emissions from point of use back to point of production. Sustainable it's not.

not to mention there are far more efficient ways of storing energy than compressed air, temperature changes take a fair chunk of what you put in

bloody thermodynamics:rolleyes:

But what about the Compressedair Tree pods?
Ah right, fictional. Still, we can always depend on the Greater Hydrogen Monkey's waste products for the future of green motoring.

Apparently Bertand Russell found entropy depressing.

I am inclined to agree - but I try not to let it get me down too much.
