indabisofmisery Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 i thought it was coal that was used for electricity? idk, i'm not the science guru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defiance Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 coal is getting to be even shorter in supply than oil. you can burn either, point is using electic cars doesnt defeat burning fossil fuels, now hydrogen powerd cars are good.

indabisofmisery Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 ^ and the problem with those is that the average hydrogen powered car currently would cost over a million USD to own. =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defiance Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 get saving but then you need to think how much money worth of petrol you would put in your car over how long owning it, and running a hydrogen powerd car will be cheap as chips compared to that, you will spend roughly the same amount as long as you dont change cars like your underwear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilley_1 Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 ^ the problem is that it would take years for anyone to save the money for it and it really depends on how much you drive your car if its really effective. last year i only drove my car about 500 miles (seriously) so having hydrogen car wouldn't benefit me at all.

Defiance Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 500 miles in a year?? i do that in a few weeks lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilley_1 Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I basically only drive around town and you can get in and out of town in like 10 minutes lol. I also still live with my parents so thats makes a huge difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shivari Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I'm sorry its just that everyone in my hometown is all for ethanol for some reason. So yeah I know you didn't say it. Also not everyone is gonna have a solar power car in 10 years and what if there happens to be some kind of defect in with it? The storage thing will be mass-produced in 10 years. Now that solar energy will be extremely cheap car companies will follow suit and solar powered cars will spring up. And about a defect, that's a stupid question. They won't put some shitty solar car on the market. Believe me, if we make a large move towards solar, as we should, we'll be getting power and fuel from solar energy. Now I don't know much about solar energy but I just don't think we should be all of our eggs in one basket. But if it's the only basket that doesn't have a hole in the bottom. Some towns will be powered by wind energy, but that isn't viable for a whole city. The rest of the options are either flawed or need to be in a certain area (ie hydroelectric by a river). Plus oil is used for everything these days. About 10% of all oil is used in things like plastics and even in food. If we could get that from here , then we wouldn't have to appease foreign dictatorships for it. Once again, it won't make a dent for a long time. We might as well just speed up solar energy instead of hoping we get a couple cents off in 15 years. And we can make plastic out of things besides oil.
