Does Santa Drive a Prius or a Hummer? | ECO Canada
Wednesday, December 12th, 2012Santa’s yearly jaunt around the globe puts 44,000 km on his odometer twice the average North American driver. If we assume that the magic provides the altitude for this trip and that consequently, the reindeer power only the forward momentum at over 3100km/h, then we can determine that they burn a whopping 980 million calories each!! So the next question is: how much food is in 980 million calories? Well, if they’re eating corn, they’d need to scarf down 16,500 lbs – or 1.6 acres. Growing 12.8 acres of corn has its own implications that we’ll leave for another calculation.
