And as usual in this argument not all the facts are presented. How much CO2 does the coal fired power plant produce to generate the electricity to charge the batteries in 25000 golf carts every night? How is the disposal of the 6 batteries average per cart replaced on average every 3.5 years or 2,142,857 pounds of batteries disposal every year contribute to the environment?
Each type of cart has problems. If it bothers you that much, go find a place to live where you can walk everywhere. All of us chose The Villages because of the lifestyle. And that lifestyle is sold, advertised and branded as a golf cart community. So don't now try to tell me the type of cart I have to drive.
This very dumb argument will continue forever. Everyone has an opinion on one side of this or the other and they will never give it up. We should all try to minimize our use of resources. Use lower wattage bulbs where it makes sense, walk when possible, recycle as much as possible and many other things. But the gas vs electric cart just seems to go on forever. I personally own one of each. Love them both and they both have a place in The Villages use requirements.
