Would it be reasonable to gather methane gas from human and animal waste, compress it (IE using solar power not fossil fuels to run the gas compression machine), and use it to power small (IE almost scooter-sized) cars that go 40-50mph?

You would think this would be much easier to do than, say, using energy-consuming electrolysis to get Hydrogen out of water and then yet more energy to compress it into a hydrogen fuel cell...

This speech needs to be persuasive and 7-9 minutes long. Also, after my speech is done the class will ask me questions regarding my topic(hybrid cars) so I really need some credible research.

Also, if anyone feels strongly about hybrids, tell me why they are so important and people should be concerned....besides the whole global warming/high gas prices thing. I want solid information. Thanks!

Hi. I heard about this but was not entirely sure. Our plumber said something about how hybrid vehicles use a different battery and the process of making them is hazardous. Every place i look praises hybrid vehicles. But are there any downsides?

I would like to buy a small Diesel Car and convert it to run on vegetable oil, but I need to raise like $3,000 to make it happen.

(I AM IN HIGH SCHOOL AND DON'T HAVE A JOB)

Any ideas for trying to raise some money for this worthy cause?

Local Business donations so something else?????

the japanese have just invented a car what is just a normal looking, normal speed etc car and so when will all the car manufactuers begin putting the technology in all the cars sold. also will the goverments make it law that these hydrogen fuel cells have to be used(if they did i think the eu would be the first to make that law) when will goverments begin creating the infastructure e.g. filling stations.

i wouldnt like to be a saudi arabian when this happens lol start to get back to selling camels

so when will this happen and do you think it will

I am conducting a survey for our school project. So it would be very helpful if you provide me with your educational level, experience, background and age.

HFC is an alternative of CFCs in refrigerators and air conditioners and it doesn't harm ozone layer. But HFCs are greenhouse gases.

CFC substitues such as propane, isobutane and butane are extremely flammable.

Every compound has its risks. Do you think it was reasonable to ban CFCs when its alternatives also have enough risks?

It seems the exhaust from hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles would be much worse than from low emission gasoline vehicles for the planet. Why the hype?

Here's an article that shows that a man was fined $1,000 from the State and $1,000 from the Federal governments for running his 1981 diesel Mercedes on biofuels.

Since politicians are running for office on promoting energy independence, why don't they repeal the laws that punish independent researchers?

Or is congress tied to the interest of big oil?

I've been seeing a ton of concept cars that either run on electricity, air and even hydrogen, and water! i was just wondering when we will actually start seeing these magnificent concept cars as our actual cars. i think it would be really awesome. I understand that these cars are not the typical car standards we have for normal gas powered cars, and that is one of the reasons why they are not in the market yet, but why is it taking so long? why is this such a long process? i may sound ignorant, but it just caught my attention for no apparent reason. I also want to know why house roofs today can't be built with solar panels rather than shingles to power individual houses without paying electricity. im not just talkin' for rich people, but for the standard home for everyone since power is becoming dim for our endless population growth. i know it would be hella expensive but wouldn't it be worth in the long run? thanks if u answered without being a smart-*** lol.....

Hiya! I am in this leadership class at school, and we are doing an enviornmental project, and I am doing this diarama about today's world with gasoline-runned cars, and then what the world would be like in some time when most cars will be electric or oil-runned. However, I need an estimated time of how many years until most cars will be ran on veggie oil or electricity. Also, any other info on veggie oil cars would be great!

The reason I ask is I've not seen any studies on the effect of hundreds of thousands of vehicles constantly pumping water vapor into the atmosphere. would a city like L.A. be enveloped in a perpetual fog and incessant rain? If all the vehicles in the world were hydrogen fueled, Would the world eventualy be under a blanket of clouds ? if so the clouds would block out light but would allow the UV rays to penetrate and heat the earth. The clouds would then act as a blanket and hold the heat in causeing the polar ice to melt and flood the world.Could this be possible?

Don’t get me wrong, we need a renewable fuel source… badly. But, E85 Ethanol currently consumes roughly 3 gallons of gasoline for every 4 gallons produces and you get about 25% fewer miles per gallon.

So, why the big push?
