Just woundering because there is some pretty nasty stuff in those batteries. We could go from just bad air to bad air, water, and soil. Even though they recharge they will still only take so many charges.

E-10, gasahol, is known to eat through fiberglass tanks, what will it do to the new underground fuel tanks that have been installed in the last 10 years? I just researched and wrote a report on the effects of ethanol on antique cars and read several articles on the demise of fiberglass fuel tanks in boats. Will E-15 and E-85 have an adverse effect on the recently installed tanks gas stations are now using?

I live in an apartment next to a high-traffic road, and it's really hot so I often open the window for fresh air. But is it possible that the pollution from the cars' exhaustion pipes get into my apartment? Thank you

The power comes from a power plant producing electric power that looses about 75% of the energy in the fuel when converting to electric power that goes to your house. There is another efficiency loss when charging the batteries. There is another efficiency loss in the motor.

It seems to me although the electric cars are great in reducing pollution in the city, they may produce more pollution overall. What do you think? I do know from physics you can't create energy from nothing. Am I missing something?

I recently saw "Who Killed the Electric Car?" It is a complete and total outrage. Given the extreme probability that this Hydrogen Fuel Cell nonsense is all smoke and mirrors, and that by their vision at least we'll still be driving gas powered SUV's 15-20 years from now, when do the patents on the Impact run out so someone else can use them to make a 20 year old car that runs better than what they will probably have 15-20 years from now?

With all this hybrid cars and electric cars we're building, and when that time when fossil fuels are no longer needed (probably not in the immediate future). Will the price of electricity go up since it will be the dominant source of fuel?

When asked the question "how many of you took private or charter jets to the debate tonight" (paraphrasing)...I believe all but one candidate slowly and sheepishly raised their hands.

Mr. Mike Gravel alone spoke up and said that he took...

A TRAIN.

Sure, he was frightfully angry for the whole debate, and hardly asked any questions, but you have to give the man some credit for acknowleging the incredible sexy that is the train.

So I guess the question is, does being a high powered political leader with a busy schedual make private jets ok, or should they take a little extra time and lead by example? What do you think is an appropriate tradeoff between time efficiency and environmental stewardship, especially coming from people who claim to want to lead us in the right direction?

Is this a con??
Has anyone tried it?
Is it possible in theory, but not in practise?

I have been looking into them. I see there are several produced in Europe that seem to get great mileage. Looks like better than 45MPG. In the US I can only find VW and Mercedes, which don't get very high mileage (about 35MPG).

1) What types of batteries are being used?
2) What are their anticipated useful lives? (Each type)
3) How is each type recycled or how is disposal accomplished after their useful life has expired?

If we can somehow bottle the hot air from the mouths of liberal democrats like Al Gore and Kerry, we can fuel the world.

Batteries are a problem NOW. They are toxic, made with chemicals and metals that create know health and environmental problems.
Shall we continue to dump millions of tons of them in landfills?
