You're right. Didn't read your comment thoroughly. I guess I don't understand the general sentiment of why it is important that the actual show is as green as possible.

To me it just underscores the disparity between the feel-good green energy and the actual carbon footprint people generate. For example, it's a lot more "green" to not own a car than to own a Tesla.

I wish they kept racing a purely fun driver-focused endeavor and got rid of most of the electronics and hybrid tech.

And for those who love the tech maybe have a separate competition of self-driving electric vehicles.
