I say we should launch a campaign where we encourage the death of gasoline-powered cars by recycling them and using the metal for the construction of awesome apartment complexes, while building mass transit systems that will still enable us to get around. I think this idea has great merit. Anyone with me?
Ofcourse I like USA to have mass-transit, but that needs huge capital investment, i know there is talk in washington to cut future funding for bullet train project in california. I certainly dont want our cars to be tossed away and leaving us with no-option to commute. I would support however if anyone who can go with electric cars, or simply convert your gasoline car to electric car. I can also help anyone with going green by various ways including using solar to charge your cars and electric devices on the go.
no one is going to give up the freedom to travel in their own vehicles for mass transit. we should adopt alternative energy campaigns that promote hydrogen technology through the use of water.

look at the different in ages of these videos. and to think the big oil corporations would let stuff like this happen. it would cost big oil corporations billions if not trillions. trust me they wont let it happen.
Amen!
Electric cars were commonplace in the early 1900's. Jay Leno owns one.
There were even service stations where you could pull in and get a replacement battery.
No reason whatsoever not to bring this back.
wasnt that the plan all along?
I don't know about the efficiency of turning cars into apartments, but I have seen some really cool houses made from converted metal shipping containers.
Lol. The unions that are funding ows would never stand for it....

Cities will need to be designed to take full advantage of mass transit. It will work, and it is the future, but incorporating it into cities where individual transportation has been dominant for nearly a century will be very difficult.
Also, it probably won't happen in rural areas. People will never give up their pick-up trucks.
I will be really happy when Detroit finally produces a product that will use clean energy technology and function well in the winter for long duration.
Then I can plow snow straight through the next blizzard content in the knowledge that I have helped my neighbors without killing someone in . . . .

I think compressed natural gas will get us through until we go totally solar. The pollution is like 1/500th of what it is with petrol, and it's plentiful. We have it, Iraq has a shitload of it. It's a little tricky to fill.
