Well that’s a nickel holding up a dollar bill...
So it’s electically powered instead of gas. Great. Now, where did the electicity come from?
Besides that, of all the unlikely candidates for conversion to electricity, a Zamboni takes the cake.
It takes a lot of power to produce significant heat. That thing must have some serious batteries...
The second Zamboni sold is now in the Smithsonian...
The first Zamboni sold is still in use!
What could be more “Green” than a machine that lasts forever?
I know indoor rinks give me headaches. I do blame it on the propane Zambonis, for lack of any other reason, but I’d like to see some detailed air quality studies.
As Ron White loves to put it “You can’t fix stupid””
We have the Darwin Awards.
We need a new set of awards for these kinds of problems.
This mess needs to be put right up alongside the smart guys in Wisconsin who declared/demanded that all stop light bulbs that had been used sucessfully for years needed to be replaced with LED type bulbs. Then, when the winter snows came, the very low heat LED bulbs didn’t melt the snow that blew inside the light cans, and a driver could not tell if the light was green/yellow/red, nor could they see the turn arrows. The fix? Buying plastic curved caps to install over every light can—at $40 apiece+++++ LABOR to install each and every one. I am willing to bet there are well over a million of these light cans in the state.
We need a name for these awards for stupid, since the Darwin Awards are aimed at those who probably didn’t survive their behavior.
