Better for whom or what? Surely not for the New York City budget, or the folks who pay for it.

  Better for those folks and the budget, both of which will feel the full impact of climate change. (But I don't think a separate fleet is the answer.)

    It’s better for the environment to build and maintain a separate fleet of occasionally-used snow plows?

      Did you read the second sentence? I mean, I know people don't read entire articles, but two sentences?

        > Did you read the second sentence? You said a separate fleet is better “for the folks and the budget” of New York, and added a parenthetical clarifying that it isn’t the answer. I’m agreeing with the second sentence, that a separate fleet isn’t the answer. I’m also refuting the first point, that it’s better than the status quo.

          Not a separate fleet, just electrifying the trucks somehow would be beneficial (depending on how that's done, of course - not with coal-fired charging stations on every block). I'm just trying to include the factor of climate change, which does and will cost a ton.

      > Might as well believe in Halley's Comet and enjoy a cool glass of koolaid. Have I just run into an Internet conspiracy theory where Halley's Comet is "what the man wants you to believe, wake up sheeple?"
