So why not make all transportation (public or private) green and more dependent on alternative fuels? Think about it, we can have green buses (handicapped accessible included), green trains, green ferries, green cruise ships, etc. And why not make every currently gas powered transportation green no matter the size? Why not have a green limo?

growing rapeseed emits significant levels of nitrous oxide (laughing gas), which is 200 to 300 times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.


So how green is that?

How are world governments going to assess this? Do they scrap every person's current car and force them to buy a new one or will their government pay for one to provide?
If Global Warming is to be stopped/slowed down one of these options must happen.

I known there is alot of chemicals in the trash etc. we take there, but can that damage the soil above the trash. We could plant crops there such as corn but we don't know if it can be used for human consumtion or animals. While using the corn for food we could also use it to make ethonal or other biofuels. If we could do this the gas price would come down and we would find a good use for all that wasted land in our country.

We already know that the government is working on other possible fuel sources such as hydrogen, fission, etc. Well, I believe that in the amount of time and money spent on planning, research, and development of these POSSIBLE sources, we could introduce solar AND wind power as our future source. These two may not be able to support everyone seperately but together, think what could happen! Less emissions, pollution, trash; more clean air, more blue sky, more money for other things...why wouldn't this work? Why can't we use something guaranteed vs somethings that is possible?

I once read that synthetic oil can be manufactured from organic waste in garbage. If this is true, wouldn't we eliminate two problems (pollution, oil dependence) by increasing synthetic oil production?

How wrong is our society?
An infrastructure was in place in California. Everyone who owned one loved the car and didn't want to give it up.

The Automakers, the Government, CARB, Hydrogen Fuel Cells, and the Consumers all contributed to the death of the electric car.

Where do we go from here?

Seriously, I don't see it. Pure hydrogen doesn't just grow on trees, it takes energy to produce it and this energy usually comes from coal. And then even if you produce the energy some other way, you still have to build the infastructure to distribute the hydrogen. Does anyone know a good reason why governments and industry should invest in hydrogen when their are other options such as ultracapacitors?

Electric cars are out there they just seem very expensive. There has to be a way of making one at reasonable cost.

They built it in 1888. In 1896 the Woods Motor Vehicle Company became the first American manufacturer of the electric car. It was a good product; by 1904 one third of all the cars in Chicago, New York City and Boston were electric powered. And then by 1912 there were 20,000 electric cars and 10,000 electric trucks and buses in the United States. What happened here? Where did they go? And why am i paying 3.45 a gallon for a gas powered vehicle?

Electric cars should definitely be produced. It's not a technological problem; there IS no problem! The range easily exceeds sixty miles per charge and can be greatly improved. I saw a documentary on TV that convinced me that electric vehicles are feasible and low-polluting (actually zero-polluting, but emissions are produced by the generation of power). I'm far from a conspiracy theorist, but it's clear to me that electric vehicle production is blocked by car companies and oil companies in favor of what they view as maximum profit. And it's a shame.

They're not really all that expensive, and the price would go way down if they were mass produced, but car companies resist.
