I think that free public transportation is an inevitability in all cities. It’s the most effective way to reduce significantly the CO2 emissions in a city. It also creates better equality for the poor and the middle class who can better afford transportation. It reduces car traffic and improves parking conditions.

I think that there are no arguments against providing free public transportation in all cities of the world. A way to improve the organization of the public transportation would be to use a software on people’s mobile phone using GPS, uploading people’s position to the city overview system, which can then regulate frequency of the different busses, trains, subways dynamically with the exact real-time expectation of demand at any given place in the city. Also combining that as soon as possible with the Personal Rapid Transit system:

The Air Car, developed by Guy Nègre, will be built by India’s largest automaker, Tata Motors. In the second part of this video, inventor Angelo Dipietro shows a 6-13 kilo rotary engine design, which looks like it could possibly provide a quieter and more energy efficient compressed air engine design, but I wonder if those clean car designs also can provide safety, power and long range.

Bring it on! thank you Elon Musk!!

I think it should be law that all car manufacturers produce Electric Cars. Get the R&D going, get the prototypes tested, make the electric car video podcasts shown.

Electric cars should become law. We want it, it works, give it to us.

Simply letting capitalism and demand drive the R&D, tests and release of clean car energy isn’t going to work. Cause OIL companies aren’t going to let go of their mega-profits, they have been blocking clean renewable energies cause with lots of money and power, you simply can block such things as development of new infrastructure for clean car mass production.

400 workers in a factory in USA is nice, but we need hundreds of thousands of workers producing these all over the world, and fast. Thanks.

This car sounds awesome! I saw a concept model at Geneva Car show last yaer, and filmed it in HD but was too lazy to release my videos on the Internet from that show.

I wonder how fast one can refuel it at home in the garage. How about having the refueling station outside on the main road in front of the house and having a peer-to-peer distribution model. Thus one could add a Hydrogen refueling station onto a GPS and wireless HSDPA/Edge/3G connected device in the car that has a real-time overview of available compatible hydrogen refueling stations be them commercial or from other private people having a nice refueling station available for any FCX user to use in front of their house.

This way people could maybe get some money reselling the hydrogen in front of their homes depending on the amount of people who find and use their refueling station. Keeping this home refueling technology only for one-self I think would be a waste of infrastructure. The p2p refueling model could rapidly blanket the whole planet with Hydrogen refueling. And any store, café, or municipal parking spaces could be turned into Hydrogen re-fueling on the double-lane and Electrical chaging for electric cars on the main parking spot.

I wonder how efficient FCX is in terms of energy consumed for a tank full that does 270 mile range compared to using batteries. And how long time it takes refueling. And how safe is it with the home refueling system, possibly p2p refueling system and generally how safe it is to use compared to normal cars and electric cars. And how about the acceleration, maximum speed and stuff like that.
