I just saw an interesting bit on Daily Planet a little while ago. There is a company in Germany i believe making electric cars, powered only by electricity and no gasoline at all. They can go up to 85km per/hr, and a total distance of 90-120km. That is just running the electricity all the time, but there are pedals, like on a bicycle, that you can use to help aid the batteries, and if you are going downhill, you can turn the power right off, use the pedals to power it. Not only will that conserve power, but by using just the pedals, you actually put more power back into the vehicle.

It is about 3/4 the size of a sprts car, and has only 3 wheels. I find it would be easy to overturn if you took a corner too fast, but it is good to see some people are taking steps in using less gasoline. It was called the Trickel, and cost about $26,000. Not a bad price I don't think. Obviously not made for long travel, but to the people who use cars for city travel, it would be perfect. It would save you money on gasoline, and you'd be helping the environment.

I think if everyone would just do their part, we may actually save this earth, but no one seems to care until the damage is done. If we all just cut back on water, traveling and all that jazz, we may have a chance.
