Diesel hybrids, orange peels, and fuel cells
Which will be the fuel of your future commute?
By the end of this year diesel hybrids could comprise about 7% of New York's transit buses, giving it the largest diesel hybrid fleet in the world (Autoweek).
Or perhaps, orange peels will create your fuel. Ener1 Inc. is working on a $1.1 million project to convert hydrogen-rich gas released from citrus peels into methanol to power fuel cells capable of providing about 75 percent of the power at an interstate rest stop in Florida (MSNBC.com).
Speaking of fuel cells, GM and the Department of Energy will spend $88 million to develop 40 fuel cells vehicles over the next five year. Is that $2 million per car?

More people should learn about electric cars as a solution. It’s amazing how far the technology has come in just a few years. Plus the savings becomes more and more attractive the higher gas prices go. There’s even an EV that will do 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds (source: zapworld.com). Electric is looking more and more like the way to go.
