Tecnological Fixes for Using to Much Gasoline

One of the side effects of using to much gasoline, Coal and other fossil fuels is that over the past century or so that we have been increasing the overall global temperature. this has caused political and economical change in the world at large.

One of the proposed fixes is of course the obvious one produce less emissions. however some people do not believe that this is possible, mainly do to the oil company's interference in politics according to Alex Steffen in a blog about "will the future of Geoengineered?"

Some of the the proposed Technological Fixes for the problem are Hydro Electric Cars, Full Electric Cars, Hybrid Cars.


Hydro Electric Buses


One fix for this problem is Hydro Electric Buses and according to fuelcellsworks.com in the article "UTC Power Attains 5000 Hour Durability Milestone with Transit Bus Fuel Cell System" the following are several quotes from the article about the hydrogen fuel cell's that the buses use and how that compares to the current buses being used.

"SOUTH WINDSOR, Conn. — UTC Power, a United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX) company, today announced one of its latest generation PureMotion® Model 120 fuel cell powerplants for hybrid-electric transit buses has surpassed 5,000 operating hours in real-world service with its original cell stacks and no cell replacements."

Here is a Quote with some real world statistics on the current possibility and actuality's of Hydro Electric Buses
"Three of AC Transit’s buses are equipped with UTC Power fuel cell systems and have now traveled more than 213,000 miles, with an average fuel economy that is 65 percent better than the control fleet of diesel buses running the same routes and duty cycles." - fuelcellsworks.com\

Electric cars are something that show up in the news all the time. There are several reasons for the continuing interest in these vehicles:

• Electric cars create less pollution than gasoline-powered cars, so they are an environmentally friendly alternative to gasoline-powered vehicles (especially in cities).
• Any news story about hybrid cars usually talks about electric cars as well.
• Vehicles powered by fuel cells are electric cars, and fuel cells are getting a lot of attention right now in the news.

An electric car is a car powered by an electric motor rather than a gasoline engine.

From the outside, you would probably have no idea that a car is electric. In most cases, electric cars are created by converting a gasoline-powered car, and in that case it is impossible to tell. When you drive an electric car, often the only thing that clues you in to its true nature is the fact that it is nearly silent. "

"The auto industry has the technology to address these concerns. It's the hybrid car. There are a lot of hybrid models on the market these days, and most automobile manufacturers have announced plans to manufacture their own versions.

How does a hybrid automobile work? What goes on under the hood to give you 20 or 30 more miles per gallon than the standard automobile? And does it pollute less just because it gets better gas mileage? In this article, we'll help you understand how this technology works, and we'll even give you some tips on how to drive a hybrid car for maximum efficiency."
