What we will talk about today moves really fast, and wont wait.
It’s also something that most of us are concerned with. Every day.

I am talking of course about how we get around - our cars and what we put into them.

There are actually quite a few options becoming available. Car manufacturers are putting in more and more energy to develop and create cars that stand up to our demands. This includes not only the use of alternative fuels, but also the looks of the car must meet demands. And of course we also want the car to function as we are used to. What’s the point of making cars that don’t look or perform according to standards.

We may be determined to have a car that uses alternative fuel source, but if it does not have the above, we will not buy. Well maybe we would compromise a little on one or the other, but not a lot and not on both at the same time.

This has been the issue and still is for some of the options available. There is one more issue which is that gas stations will have to change and be able to supply the alternative fuels, which can be hydrogen fuel cells or biomass fuels. Electrical cars have different needs, and since re-charging of batteries take some time, it will not be done at gas stations, but more likely at home overnight.

Anyway here’s a little more on this subject of alternative fuels for cars.

I thought it might be fun to have a look also at what these cars look and will look like.

Just a few samples. Left - tanking up, Center - fun little car, right - largest at moment.

What do you think may be the solution on these issues? I would love to hear from you. Leave a comment, and I will get back to you.
You can also leave a remark on something you would like to hear about, or a question, and I will do what I can to find the answer.

Energy Saver #1: Lighting

There is so much we can do, since we don’t want to wait for all that alternative stuff to get up and running.

And it’s so cool - there is something we can do to cut down on fuels. No, no, no. I am not going in to that reduce and actually I am. It’s about reducing so that we will have more.

That’s what this video is about, and it’s only the first steps. There will be quite a few more tips along the way. Continue Reading »

Electricity and How It Is Made

I really feel I have to say sorry …

I must admit some of my readers really got scared after those first ones. If you didn’t get to see them, go take a look here, but remember to come back here.
Well, I did mean to scare a bit. After all it’s a scary situation we are in.

What’s great is that there are other ways to have light and electricity for all those things that we like so much. Who would want to go without them. Continue Reading »

What we are burning and how we began doing it

Wasn’t the last video scary? I think so. When I think of where we are heading, it scares the …. out of me.
Just in case you didn’t see it you can backtrack to see it.

Now this next video is nothing like the previous. Just me talking … that’s all. But talking about what it is that’s doing all of this to us. Or maybe I should say it another way:

What we have been doing and are still doing so that the situation continues

Oh … this one is actually an answer to a question I read on Yahoo Answers:

“What causes all these emissions all are talking about? Where do they come from?”

I really thought that was such a good question that I decided it had to be part of my questions and answers.

Now it may just be me, but I really want to know the background of
things, so I can make up my own mind. Knowing this made all the difference to me. Now I see the great need to change our ways and begin making energy in other ways.

You might also consider ways to get off these conventional fossil fuels. It can be so easy, and anyone can do it. Take a look.

I have a request of you, please. Do you feel others should know this stuff too? All you have to do is send them over hear, and subscribe to the dobehave news.
