Despite all the problems concerning ecology, sales of cars keeps growing. This is probably a sign that people are not ready yet to use untraditional source of energy.
If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

untraditional energy sources are difficult to implement, since people are used to traditional energy, and I consider that human is not ready for changes

It would be great if scientists invent a car which uses salty water. We have enough of that for several centuries I think.

The rise in car sales is explicable. The oil prices are surging and many people are leaving their SUV’s and buy cars with a less powerful engine but which are most cost effective in this situation.

yes, and they are doing a damn good work! One "hummer" eats 30 litres of fuel per 100 km! Hummer possessors should pay the tax ten times more than common drivers!

oh really? I think the one who holds a hummer car has very little concerns about his finances, 'cause he got them more than enough. The buyer knows what he does when buying a car!

Hakan, this will cost more expensive than filling at ordinary stations. I mean by only have one station - there are a lot of expensive, especially for transporting the oil + a big area for building it on.

The buyer knows what he does when buying a car! those who buy hummers don't care at all about environments. It consumes fuel even more than some trucks, about 30 liters per 100 km.

Only pop stars can afford them now, and what is worse - they do it for promotion purposes only. I remember reading that Paul McCartney bought himself a hybrid car but his PR manager ordered for it to be shipped by air, which meant that the pollution caused to the atmosphere, was equal to driving a car 40 times around the globe.

I didn't know that. Stars are often so dreamy that they don't realize what they do. If we count how many times Paul McCartney used the plane for arriving to world countries, I think it would be equal to several thousands cars driving 40 times around the world
