How to pick the best
Hybrid Car for you
(c) 2006 by Rick Tamlin
Still, the benefits are vast. Let's imagine for a moment
that they do figure a way to safely contain and mass produce
hydrogen down to the point that we pay less for it at the pump
than we do for our ‘regular unleaded’ now.
Hydrogen, which is the most
abundant gas in the universe, making up fully 75% of all atoms
present, is the ideal fuel for us, not just today, but
forever.
Our future space programs all
depend on us ironing out this wrinkle, because hydrogen gas can
be collected on any planet, anywhere, even out in empty space,
making long-distance space travel possible.
What does this mean for
you?
Assured research and
development dollars. The automobile industry won't be
the only one interested in this technology, but it will
definitely benefit from it.
Back to the present day, it is a very good
sign that we are developing hybrid electric cars, because the
technology of these dual-powered wonder-machines are exactly
what will be needed once the hydrogen problems are solved.
Since the hydrogen is not simply 'burned' in the engine like
gasoline is today, it will be converted into electricity and
that electricity will be what moves the wheels on that
generation of cars... There will be no noisy engine, just
electric motors turning the wheels... Much like the hybrid cars
of today.
The hybrids we drive now are the perfect
next step in the evolution towards that future car. With that
in mind, let's begin choosing your modern-day dream car.
