Q&A guru


It can help stop pollution and preserve our environment! Plus, you would save money by not paying for gas..So why did GM basically "cancel" this innovative car? Why did people not support it?

I Don't necessarily believe there's any global cover up, don't get me wrong Iâm one for conspiracy theories, in fact I live 100% off the grid away from society / gov to prove it. But the technology is out there and has been for a longtime. I just think society isn't ready for it yet, almost but not yet. I don't think the government killed the EV1 or the super carburetor , either (though Iâve been wrong before) I think consumers did. Consumer's want their v8's with 33inch tires and speeds of 110+ min, just can't get that with âfactoryâ evs right now.

I currently have an EV and 2 vehicles that run on hydrogen also all that I converted. As I live completely off the grid all my electricity comes from solar panels and 2 wind generators.

The gov and car companies ARE trying to do something about it though.

Biofuel is recognized by both the US Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy as an alternative fuel, and qualifies for mandated programs under the Clean Air Act Amendments and the Environmental Protection Act of 1992 (EPAct).

USDA Clears Air with Biofuel: Buses and other diesel-burning vehicles run cleaner if they mix biofuel with regular diesel fuel, said the US Department of Agriculture at a biofuel fuel seminar at a USDA research center.

Conversely most major automotive manufacturers (Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors, etc) recommend the use of bio fuels, and nearly every car manufacturer in the world approves ethanol blends in their warranty coverage.

In fact your probably even driving an ethanol car and didn't even know it.

The trick is finding fuel.

I've been producing biofuel for about 3 years now, it's not extremely difficult. Basically you need general household ingredients, a processor (or still for ethanol) and some used oil. Blend it, let separate, screen and use. I complied a guide a while back to help walk you threw the process step by step, just email me or check out..

also Honda has just released their first Hydrogen car (FCX Clarity).

http://automobiles.honda.com/fcx-clarity...

"The FCX Clarity is a next-generation, zero-emissions, hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicle based on the entirely-new Honda V Flow fuel cell platform, and powered by the highly compact, efficient and powerful Honda V Flow fuel cell stack."

http://world.honda.com/news/2007/4071114...

It definitely has potential for "future car technology". In fact Honda just gave the first Individual Customer from Las Angeles a 2 year lease on the FCX.

and of course you can stop waiting for them to anything and just do it yourself. I built my first hydrogen cell about 5 years ago, the ev about 3 years ago and now currently run the 2 trucks, my home hot water heater, home stove and home generator on hydrogen and offer a step by step DIY guide to walk anyone interested threw the process. You can find it at http://www.agua-luna.com/hydrogen.html or you can email me.

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if youâd like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, Iâm willing to walk you step by step threw the process. Iâve written several how-to DIY guides available at http://www.agua-luna.com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

What are some down sides to the India's Tata Nano Car?




kayla


I think it is interesting, but I want to understand what benefits are received by Canada to help produce this car to distribute to India, if so than how? I think it is great, but I would just like to know some negatives.


Answer
When a caravan starts with a mission of "new and innovation", each and every body wants to get a seat there.

Perhaps there might be so many reasons behind. May not say at the moment.

Kolkata High Court, INDIA in its judgement dt. 18-01-08 up-helds the land acquisition by the WBengal I.D.C in Singur, WB, India. The acquired land has been 'leased' to Tata Group for their "Nano" small car project and also for another complex for manufacture of Auto Parts.From the very begining this small car projectin the state of West Bengal, India is facing 'resisitance' from the vested interests( big Car makers behind ..?). The launch of this car might have to lead the Engineers to redraw their car design and start a global "Price-war"
