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.

Reduce and Have More

Often as I surf the internet, I come across blog postings or YouTube
videos that express my message.

The message is about alterntive energy. But it is also about how we can reduce our use of energy without changing our life style. Going green is about reducing, re-using and recycling, as well as more intelligent ways of using existing energy whether this energy comes from conventional … fossil … fuel sources, or from alternative energy source.

And in the process we will end up having more money in the bank account or to have fun with.
