That's freaking cool... Maybe it would be kinda cool to have something like under the hood of our cars, eh? Then again, I really love the sound of a V8!

Here's an idea, have the electric motor under the hood and have some kind of special sound system that played V8 sounds?? LOL

At least there's some hope for drag racing when/if the IC engine ever becomes obsolete. You can't make your own gasoline very easily, but electricity is here to stay.

I think not. Same kind of thinking as in the Republik of Kalifornia that electric cars are the answer.

These nearsighted people are so stupid. Think about this. Kalifornia has rolling brownouts practically every summer cause they can't generate enough electricity for their (pardon the pun) CURRENT needs.

Where do they think the extra power to charge these cars is gonna come from? And the argument that "most will be charged at night" doesn't fly. A bunch will be charged during the day from commuters driving more than 1/2 of their charge to get to work. There's been talk of "charging stations" located where people can use them while out.

Then we get in to the whole thing about emergency workers NOT wanting to work at accident sites involving electric vehicles for fear of electrocution. Or the tow truck drivers not wanting to haul them with battery acid leaking out all over their trucks. etc etc

Sure something needs to be done. But these short sighted idiots are just voting for a knee jerk reaction. Not a solution

Thats why I like the Hydrogen, seeing first hand that they are reliable, non polluting and do not rely on a plug, has changed my mind with them. We also have a ford v-10 bus that runs on hydrogen along with 3 ford focus's and 2 hydrogen stations located at 2 of our ops centers around orlando.

"Republik of Kalifornia"

It's clear that you're a closed minded person with many bitter prejudices, not worth wasting my breath on.

I'm an engineer - I believe in technology.

I'm all for the "clean" energy kick in the long run. But I HATE when someone says ZERO emissions. Not possible. I'm sure when I'm 70 Ill be driving an "alternative" fuel car. But who knows.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I'm all for horse and buggy.  Back when they were the norm, I would only have to get there when I got there.  And if everyone did the same, there wouldn't be any deadlines missed....or being late for work, etc...  :screwy:

no, there BUYING it from us, and paying quite the premeium I might add. Bonnivill Ppower has a program here for quite a few years where they will weather proof our houses build before 1978 or so for free, the cost of this program is offset by selling the electricity saved to Cal.
I had insulation installed in my last house, and I know several people that have gotten there windows replaced with duel pane for free.
