they don't know what the emission is going to be because you didn't select a car. this emission thing is for bleeding hearts with too much dinero and companies who will automatically pay any transportation company that carbon offset scam so when that company publishes and mail 500 000 of their 300 page annual environmental stewardship report they can say that they pay to offset carbon at all stages. in other words the emission figure you see on the hertz website is absolutely meaningless.

ot: this notion of zero or low emission is ridiculous and ignores the much more important metric of material flow, such as what materials go into--and how much energy is required to produce--the battery of those "zero emission" vehicles
