Then they could create their own electricity as they were driving I have concepts for clean renewable energy that does not require lithium ion batteries or windmills or solar panels. But do not have the resources to make it happen. Even if I did, I would probably disappear if you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas/electric hybrids SHOULD be the way to go UNTIL they can upgrade our electrical grid and come up with a renewable source of energy. Switching over from gas straight to electric is not very smart, until they improve battery technology. There is some good news though for us people who love traditional internal combustion engines as there are companies out there developing engines that run on hydrogen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dgzKW8EKMc But from what I can gather, there are some drawbacks but I think hydrogen is worth developing further to make it better than developing battery tech. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IPR50-soNA I used to hear about cars that can run on biodiesel (like fryer oil) and I always wondered why nobody tried that out. I mean if there's one thing America does not seem short on it's fryer grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
