we hear everywhere about the electric car, our environmental savior. Sometimes it is called green car, green car and if I even heard zero emissions car! The great great anything. What does it take to produce electricity? until today a nonrenewable resource (uranium, gas, coal ...). What does it take to produce batteries? nonrenewable resources (cadmium, nickel ...). The electric car is not green, let alone zero emissions. Admittedly, its emissions of greenhouse gases emissions are lower than those of a car and heat it in some cases is a good solution, but please do not call more green car.

yup, prius suck donkeys. I need a truck for my business and every man I know in town uses trucks for work, try getting a fleet of powerfull electric trucks going - not gonna happen. We're driven by oil, they own us, they own the economy, the world, our future and our families past, they think we owe them. Sorry anyway yah it does take resources, non renewable to make just about anything. OH and if its renewable its probably either CORN or Soy!
The best cars are running on solar energy and which do not need to charge electric power that exist. But also where and how to make batteries, plates silicon are also made through the main power from coal or generators that run on gas and are the result of pollution and unhealthy... But we can say that this reduces fuel consumption and reduce environmental pollution... ...In other words healthier this is better than nothing... Thank you for this great topic Tooti
Producer gas comes from firewood, firewood can be had from these in abundance if managed properly, "—Acacia auriculiformis. (d,h) ACAC-9. Packet: $2.50 'EARPOD WATTLE'. Fast growing tree to 95 feet. Spikes of yellow flowers followed by twisted pods. Flat 8" leaves. New Guinea. Excellent for tropical reforestation, it can grow 19 feet in 2 years, and reach 55 feet in 8 years. Builds soil, fixes nitrogen, smothers imperata grass. Stands soils ranging from pH 3.0 to 9.0, and rainfall from arid to 8 feet per year. Produces up to 20 cubic meters of fuelwood per year. Stands both clay and sandy soils." Georgia would finally have something to do with all that Kudzu vine growing everywhere! (Of course they could also eat that as leafy greens, old dogs and new tricks I guess eh'?) And lets not forget if you dont want to turn hemp into biodiesel, it can be simply dried and tossed into the furnace of the gassifier, same with yard waste and many other forms of carbon based matter. If we did this, started cultivating more plants for fuel, we would make our biosphere earth much more closely effective at handling the pollutants other industries seem so intent on pumping into our air. If we did this, there would be no need to "do away" with our old vehicles in exchange for new ones using this alternative energy as it is simply an additional system and some very minor mechanical modifications to the existing Diesel or Gas engines, could be done for 1/10th the cost of a new "green" vehicle on a commercial level. And this gas can also be bottled just like LP gas meaning that it doesnt need to be cumbersome or a burden on the user any more than pumping the gas into your tank is currently. Fuel, derived from what is essentially what everyone likes to call air pollution. And no, I'm not suggesting we toss all our eggs in this singular basket, but I sure would think 3 out of a dozen eggs would be a pretty fucking good idea.
