Cars typically put out 60 kw of heat. Even on the rare occasions
motorists stop at red lights they are still emitting 5 kw on idle.
Do we really need all this unnecessary heat?

60kW is on the high side. But that's just mechanical energy (which
eventually turns to heat). The total heat output from burning the fuel
is three times that.

All a cars energy comes from burning fuel and all energy becomes heat.


Indeed. So values are 120kW (3x30, not 3x60) running and 15kW (3x5) idling.


Police are now offering a free car ventilation service!
I am sure M'lud Nuglet would say that this is "criminal damage" in Nugentworld.

As a cyclist, if a car driver endangers MY life, can I use a D lock to smash HIS window?
