Within 20 years, large amounts of oil will be hard to come by and very expensive. Most people are saying that EV and hydrogen fuel cell technology will replace our gasoline engines in are cars, but, what about Semi-Trucks? They are much more important to our current society than personal transportation.
Too me, it seems you would need MASSIVE batteries to pull trailers, not counting refrigeration. I don’t know if fuel cells could produce the power needed, but you would also need very large amounts of compressed hydrogen.
What do you guys think?

I really like to live somewhere with a small community feel, less reliance on cars, rather trains and buses, somewhere that feels homely and safe. A nice place for children to grow up..

Does it exist?

If they actually practiced what they preached, arrived on commercial airlines and ridden in regular cars instead of limos… what is the point of all that opulence? Is meat banned?

What factors might detract from creating cars with higher fuel efficiency or cars that use alternative energy sources?

I have heard so much discussion about trying to be more environmentally friendly including buying organic, purchasing cars that uses less fossil fuel, drinking tap water instead of bottled water, using more environmentally friendly materials; the list goes on and on. Yet what immediate benefit can one say to convince either oneself or others that "going green" is a good move? Or are the effects going to be long term, if there is any at all, that no one will know until 50 years or 100 years or more? I need help deciphering truth from panic. I want to help what lives in this earth not help destroy, how does one do that?

Since we are making some new alternative fuels like ethanol, which is made from corn, and some car companies are making cars that can run on water, do you think it’s possible to take grease, something we have so much of, and turn it into an alternative fuel?

Is such a resource currently compatible with our cars? Also, will it be available for public consumption in the near future? If so, then when?

I’m looking for a new car, but don’t want to spend money on all of the gas, so are there any very good Hybrid vehicles or cars that can run on alternative fuels for a decent price?

We’ve all heard how many millions of tons of CO2 are emitted from cars, coal fired power plants, etc. With more than 6 billion people on earth, each one a CO2 emitting machine I am curious how much of the green house gas comes directly from the byproduct of human metabolism.

bio-deisel, electricity, hydrogen, and now compressed air. It seems the list of "green" cars just keeps on expanding, yet I personally have never even seen a way of refueling any of these cars at any of the gas stations Ive ever been to.

I’d love to buy a car that can refuel for 2 dollars on compressed air but I doubt id make it past my first tank before parking it.

So how can people who are interested in exploiting these new technologies get gas stations to add the means neccesary to refuel them?
ok ill be honest, I’m not sold on global warming, I mean i see that it’s definitely a real thing, I just don’t think it’s as big of a deal as many would have us believe,

I’m more concerned with my wallet and finding a cheap source of transportation. Preferably one that’s easily accesible.
