The New Technology that Could Replace the Gas-Powered Car

Posted July 14, 2008

“No, it won’t be flying cars, hydrogen cells, or teleporting atom machines…although those would be fun… Instead, we’re talking about simple energy and cost-efficient cars.” — Mark Louie

Blogger’s note: With oil above $140, we know something has to give. And that something may be new technology in our cars. Perhaps your next car won’t use gasoline or ethanol at all. In a recent Penny Sleuth, Mark Louie discussed the technologies he thinks have the best chance to replace the gasoline engine in our vehicles. You can find the article here or read on for more.

Baltimore – (TFN): It was Ben Franklin who once said, “every problem is an opportunity in disguise…”

One of the problems with American culture is that we don’t fix anything until it’s beyond repair…levees, the housing bubble, debt, healthcare, social security, you name it. Unfortunately this also applies to the ongoing energy crisis.

The Biggest Solar Energy Project Ever

Using a source officially discovered by NASA in 1978, a small California company has perfected a way to harness the “Earth’s Energy Budget.” which NASA has measured at 174 trillion kilowatts per day. 

Yes, I said 174 trillion kilowatts each day. That’s enough energy to power New York City for 1,827 years.

And this tiny California solar company, recently featured on NBC’s Today Show, just figured out how to harness this energy. In less than a decade, these systems will be on nearly every home and office building in North America. Learn more…

While a potential cellulosic industry (ethanol made from cellulose, the most organic compound on Earth) could break out in the future, it won’t put a dent into $140-plus barrel prices until years from now. America’s dependency and current shortages has forced itself to find an alternative. Improvise would be a more appropriate word. We will see some new and exciting technologies in the following years…

No, it won’t be flying cars, hydrogen cells, or teleporting atom machines…although those would be fun… Instead, we’re talking about simple energy and cost-efficient cars. Read on to learn which technologies will win in the energy crisis.
