For breakfast today, me and some friends went to the local IHOP. We weren’t exactly sure how to get there so we used our GPS devices in our cars to navigate there. On the way, we marveled at how the stop lights changed yellow just as we passed by. And once we had arrived, everyone [...]

In a bold move, especially for a battered company in a  bruised economy, GM has aggressively developed a prototype car that, for all effective purposes, run entirely on electricity.  It uses a 400-lb lithium-ion battery, an energy source that is silent and emission-free. 
The big difference from other “hybrid” cars such as the “Prius”, is that [...]

Whatever happened to “small government”.  Isn’t that a Republican trademark?  Now, thanks to our tax dollars, we (and I mean everyone in this country that pays taxes), own 79% of AIG, paying $85-billion, and of course manage Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as well.  And how did you feel about paying out $24 million to [...]

In a stark warning last year, scientists at [...]

Prior to his current “mission”, Shai Agassi, age 38,worked for SAP, the world’s largest maker of enterprise software.  Agassi believes it just might be possible to get the entire world off oil. For good.  The problem, he decided, was oil-consuming, CO2-spewing cars. The solution was to get rid of them. Not just some, and not just by [...]

Oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp. plans to sell its company-owned gas stations, saying they aren’t profitable enough even with gasoline selling at $4 per gallon.
The 2,220 stations make up about 1/5 of the Exxon and Mobil stations in the United States. The nation’s largest oil company, which earned nearly $41 billion last year, says [...]

Zero Pollution Motors (ZPM) expects to produce the world’s first air-powered car for
the United States by late 2009 or early 2010, and better yet, it is expected to be for sale for less than $18k. One of the planned Air Car models, reaches 68 mph, and goes for a range of [...]

There are battery powered cars, scooters, semi trucks, and now there is a battery powered plane.
The plane, that got its certification in April, features a 5.6 kWh lithium battery with a projected life cycle of 1,000 cycles (before the battery needs replacing). The battery has a max weight of 78 pounds and can be custom-built [...]
