They could even be solar powered? Also, how about returning to using horses for transportation instead of cars. Cars are smelly too, and require extra care and feeding and a place to park. Don't you think we're all travelling, moving, thinking, living too fast any way? Any one care to brainstorm new ideas on fuel and travel? Would you be willing to be the first to use a horse to go to the store or to work or ???

I don't know. It sounds like it would be expensive to maintain. I work in a factory and the thing about machines is they're always breaking down. I like the idea of relying on more solar power though. Maybe making cars solar powered. I think they have prototypes out there. I wonder if it would be feasible for them to be marketed commercially. We definitely need to have access to alternative energy sources which are renewable.
Yes, life definitely seems to be moving TOO FAST! I agree. But the factory I work in produces cars, so by buying a horse I'd be putting myself out of a job! :) Besides, think of all the poop you'd have to scoop! Horses require a lot of care and you can't just ignore them in between ridings, like you do a car.
I like your screen name by the way!

Horses are a great idea, but not practical. Even though they are cheaper to buy and maintain (generally) than cars, people in today's high paced world would stick to their fast modes of transportation. You could also argue that horses would be hard to maintain, requiring daily care.
I think hybrid and electric cars will be the next big thing. Compared to gas automobiles, they will save a lot on fuel and pollution. We just have to get the prices down and people will become more interested.

It sounds extreemly far fetched, expensive, and a little... confusing. Of course, it may eliminate speeding.

Fine, unless I'm running late and in a hurry. Who will pay for them and what will we do if they break?

That sounds really, really expensive.
