Can a $6,000 two-wheeled electric "unicycle" really solve global "warming"?

Brantford Expositor - Ontario, CA

Gulak called his invention the Uno "because it has a European flavour and it does mean 'the one.' When you look at it from the side, it does look like there's only one wheel. And it could be a solution to global warming, if you want to stretch it that far."
..."We are such a visual society; people aren't going to want to do it unless it looks cool," says Gulak, adding he's hoping it will sell for an affordable $6,000.

He doesn't think consumers doing good things for the environment should be penalized with high prices.
