High Efficiency Hybrid Car Planned For 2009
An anonymous reader writes "You may have heard some of the hype last month when California-based Aptera let out first word of its allegedly super fuel-efficient (and cheap) Typ-1 electric vehicle. A video test drive and gee-whiz specs breakdown at the Popular Mechanics site proves that this thing is for real. The plan is to have a vehicle that goes 120 miles on a single lithium-phosphate pack charge for 2008, with a 300-mpg model to follow by 2009. Aptera is also mentioned in Wired's new cover story as one of several early front-runners for the Automotive X Prize."
It is unreasonable to ask them to change their lifestyle. And no way can we change the agricultural industry, we rely on them!
Except if we grew food locally and depended less on meat we would have less need for transport or massive farms requiring combustion engines. But I guess change is too hard...
We need a radical shift in our lifestyles and ways of thinking if we as a species are to survive, unless you want to see some pretty cool carbon dioxide emissions (explosions) from deep water reserves in the next fifty years.
