Uh yea, great, but ultimately you will need resources, and what good are cars if there are no roads. Buy a comfy pair of running shoes, better off. No program is goin to be implemented, cuz the gov't knows its foolish to even try to switch our whole infrastructure over, everything depends on gasoline, after we rape Alaska and iraq and iran, thats it, no more oil, no more SUVs, the party is over. Try thinking of a way to get to your job without a car, matter of fact, try thinking of a way to sustain you and your family's lives without a job or a vehicle. Thunderdome, here we come.

I just posted this in another thread, but I think it's applicable here as we're on about batteries and eco-stuff.

Li-ion batteries take 10 times more energy to recycle than it does to make them. So if everyone's driving Li-ion cars which need new packs every two years, what the fuck happens to all the waste batteries? If they'er recycled, it'll take huge amounts of energy.

Before everyone uses electric cars, we've gotta come up with another battery technology first. Electric cars are NOT gonna be a miracle which saves the earth overnight.

I read a white paper on batteries and the environment, and with the current battery/motor efficiency, if everyone owned an electric car, the power consumption of all those houses would triple. So we'd need three times more power stations...so we'd need power stations which are more efficient than car engines, otherwise the situation would go nowhere.

If week keep using hybrid cars, we will generate so much smug we all will be killed by it''

North american is pacted with rivers. The rockies create the best areas for dams. Steep inclined rivers generate the most electricity.

Hydroelectric power produces a tiny percent of the world's energy and is geographicly limited to certain areas. Oh and yeah, nuclear fusion will soon be available..

Plant ethanol, bio-diesel, this is where we need to be looking.

People argue against them because they emit more than water while burned, but everything they emit, they absorbed in the first place.

The net effect is 0. The power comes from the sun as they grow.
