lol. never happen. a company near my home in ny has been claiming to get these things on the roads for the last 10 years. every year it's the same pitch. "next year". the cars work. nowhere near what they claim. but they do work. believe me i know. i was asked to invest. you will see them in other countries. too many hurdles in the u.s. safety being the main concern. neat idea.

well that's a given. lol. unless the oil companies buyout the technology. i think these small companies are hoping and holding out for that. all their hype, over the years, seems like one giant commercial to attract someone to really take them to market. very interesting stuff but a near impossible sell here. vanity rules over common sense with american car buyers. i dont believe all the bad numbers ive seen with the rise in gas prices. people are still driving. auto companies crying the blues, celebrities praising more efficient cars. all smoke and mirrors.

Just One question.

Why do all Green cars have to look so shit?
