I heard not too long ago a bunch of truckers surronded the white house and shut down their semi's in protest...

Of course, the Air Car will likely never hit American shores, especially considering its all-glue construction. But that doesn’t mean the major automakers can write it off as a bizarre Indian experiment

right, because it'd be impossible to make it with welds and metal

the first cars were planks with wheels and engines on them








besides, wheres your water powered car?

Sure, a water powered car is a great idea.  What, with all the water shortages in the majority of the world, and the dropping water tables in the U.S. it sounds like a dandy idea.

we(our trucks) get fuel from Mexico where its 2.10 a gallon, we fitted our trucks with extra fuel tanks(150gal capacity) and sell the fuel to other trucks at around 3.50/gal, which factoring in the cost of transporting the extra fuel comes out to a dollar profit per gallon x 150 gal = a nice little bonus


My dad does the same thing with our trucks...

VERY good profit from it

the US has less water than it does oil

of course if sea leavels really are rising that might be a good way to combat it.......we need you to drive more!

I would hope Mr. Sparkle is talking about hydrogen, not water...as in Hydrogen fuel cell cars. And yes, they are out there. Honda is giving away 3,000 of them to be tested as we speak. Why aren't they mass produced? Becuase they are not efficient. Right now we put more energy into seperating hydrogen from oxygen than we get from hydrogen alone...

Hydrogen while it seems like a nice idea, is not the REAL future. The REAL future is in Solar. Solar is the ultimate in renewable energy......... It doesn't matter how many people use it at the same time. How cool is that yo?

For the amount of energy needed, you would need MASSIVE amounts of surface area to put those solar panels.

    Look the reason hydrogen cars will never take off is because of: the (lack of) efficiency, the lack of the technology to make it a viable alternative, and most importantly the lack of infrastructure to support them,ex: no one would buy a hydrogen powered car if there wasn't a good # of fuel stations and no company would invest in building fuel stations if there wasnt already strong consumer base to profit from.
   To me electric powered cars or hybrids similar to the Chevy Volt are the next step because the infrastructure is already at every power outlet we run into. Although we still get our electricity from oil and natural gasses, think of how much easier it would be to build alternate-energy power plants to serve millions at one time (which we do have the technology for) than to: develop and reproduce that same technology to put in each and every car, build the infrastructure to distribute the fuel, and find a way to harvest, process, and deliver the fuel to the public for convenient usage.
   When i graduate from high school in 2010 i am promised a new GT, but i now wonder if it would be wiser to go with the Volt and prevent any potential pitfalls in getting a gas guzzler for college. Our beloved Mustangs may one day become the playthings of only those that can afford to maintain it. Unless Ford comes out with a electric one this forum itself could become nothing more than a history archive.
