Eco friendly cars

125 cars are running on a mix of diesel and vegetable oil in Westchester County in Upstate New York.  Another 7 cars are running exclusively on vegetable oil.

The county saves $25.000 for every 10,000 gallons of cooking oil. Restaurant owners are very excited and willing to participate to this program, because it saves them from paying money to have the used oil hauled away.

The county plan to convert another 350 vehicles, at least as a mix.

$4500 costs to convert a car to use just vegetable oil, and $1000 a system that process the  oil.

Solar-products maker SolarWorld offered to buy four plants from Opel, General Motors Corp.’s German subsidiary, and transform it into a green carmaker.

While this deal it’s far from beeing a sure thing, I think this move from SolarWorld it’s a good sign for the friendly cars industry.

It was those days on TV. It was a contest in Japan, the annual Toyota Idea Olympics.

The electric power is generated by hamsters running and the motor is driven by amplifying this electric power. The fuel:seeds and whatever the hamsters are eating.

And, as they said on TV, “a happy hamsters, is a healthy hamster”

To produce environmental friendly cars, the European manufacturers asked for 40 billions euro due to the present financial crisis and the UE commissioner for industry Guenter Verheugen sustained in public this request.
There are some countries, the most affected ones, France, Germany, Italy, that are against legislative proposals to impose the development of a green line of cars to the manufacturers.
UE citizens have to be rewarded if they are taking care to recycle old and dangerous cars and choose greener cars, according to Verheugen system proposal.
