GM reveals Chevrolet Volt Concept (#)

„In addition to that they are still fighting tooth-and-nail against increasing fuel economy regulations, suing states that try to limit greenhouse gas emissions, and in December argued before the Supreme Court that carbon from tailpipe emissions was not even a pollutant. GM is still planning to expand their Hummer line to become 25% of their overall sales. Consumers still have limited options to find fuel-efficient cars that are affordable, well-built, and fun to drive.“

Hydrogen Micro-Economics - Popular Mechanics (#)

„The H-racer ($40), a new toy car from a Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies, is a fascinating look into the potential hydrogen economy—although a sad excuse for a toy.

„According to UCS research, if this fuel economy goal is required by law, it would save 550,000 barrels of oil per day in 2017, more than we currently import from Iraq.  The increase would also cut global warming pollution by 95 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in that same year. This is equivalent to taking 14 million of today™s cars and trucks off the road.“
