New York City yellow cabs are going green. They were having some problems with government red tape, but that seems all cleared up now. The cabs will be converted into hybrid cars to ensure much better fuel efficiency. Apparently 7 out 10 New York state citizens support a switch to hybrid vehicles.
Hopefully this will pave the way for more and more cars turning into green machines.
A British gas company has created a very efficient auto. Using hydrogen it needs only 25 watts to travel 25,000 miles (in theory). This car may put the Swiss car previously discussed here to shame. This car, however, will be piloted by a 13 year old for weight and space concerns.
After reading many arguments that hydrogen is a false hope it is good to see that really efficient vehicles can be made.
As we are running out of oil we need to find other sources for energy. Progress is being made, and is sponsored by the private sector. Fuel economy races have been held and the new world leader is getting 5385 kilometers to the litre. The world-record holding PAC-Car operates on a hydrogen powered fuel cell.
The Swiss made this record. Switzerland is stereotypically known for its efficiency, now it seems they are just feeding that stereotype. Fine with me!
