And sometimes it doesn't actually remove the snow.

It actually doesn't remove the snow, which I think makes it a PERFECT analogy since you've wasted a shit ton of energy on the flashy,expensive, idea instead of just doing what actually works.

Do you not understand how insane jet engines are?

I read it as melting snow, not just getting it off the drive way. But just blasting the snow from your driveway onto to street won't be a ton of help either since that still needs to get plowed.
