Hydrogen powered cars. Already gotr some of them in the world today. Heres an example:
In late spring of 2004 BMW announced that its newest gasoline-electric project is an X5 SAV hybrid featuring a combustion engine that is power assisted by an electric motor that produces an astonishing 479.35 ft-lbs of low end torque! The hybrid X5 is truly revolutionary because it actually has greatly increased performance over the gasoline only model, while improving gas mileage by 15-20%.
BMW has also spent much time and money researching practical hydrogen power, and expects to launch a hybrid 7 series, their flagship super luxury model, by 2010. Though it may seem strange to think that hydrogen power may be only a few years away, consider this: many states have already seen and or approved legislation to allow the beginning phases of hydrogen refill station planning and construction.
Ethanol is supposed to be a good alternative to traditional fuels… I also heard some people are using cooking oil (like canola oil) instead of diesel over in Europe somewhere… Don’t know how true that is and how good it is for their vehicles if it is…
