Cars of the Future...Electric, BioFuel, Hydrogen

Accounting for almost 1/3 of the wolrd's CO2 output per year, automobiles are a huge problem when it comes to the environment. Not only that, their reliance on gasoline has caused major instability in the world, and has helped the thirst for oil which led us to drilling in the deep ocean for oil in places like the Gulf of Mexico. Seeing the devastation this fuel can bring to an entire region, as we are seeing with the BP Oil Spill, it's time to look for alternatives.

In the movie "Who killed the electric car", we saw glimpses of what California showed us is possible. There, a pilot program of electric vehicles was adopted by Californians, and these vehicles had to be PRIED out of these customer's hands. We have the technology to make this happen, we just need to adopt it as consumers, and not let the oil and auto industries bully us into buying for gas-guzzling tanks.

Let's discuss the future of automobiles.
