this technology is due to come out very soon.many other companies will follow as they did in the late 70s.

isn't it great I just hope they get them into pickup trucks . I'm driving a fulsize dodge and its a pig on gas as soon as i can get a disel I will try and get one. But for know I don't want to drive a 3/4 tonne to get one,
to rough for everyday driving.

Seems like a step sideways rather than forward.

it is true with honda in the 70s paving the way.what i did think was a good start is the fuel cell technology.if you read it says theyve figuerd out the wieght issues and they have an engine that can reach 100 mph but can drive 300 miles ,that to me is a good START.****** LIKE THE PRIUS -when millions of people buy these hondas and set the japs lightyears ahead of amarican car making (as usual) while were trying to still make autos who have hemis and look good but get 3 mpg.

the fact everyone is starting to make clean diesel engines is theyre more effecient and you can easily adapt them to running on veggie oil,costs $500.00.most say this is the best way because you still have to harvest and produce veg oil and the consumer still has to buy it-which wont hurt our economy as bad.

please google veggie cars or biodiesel.

also they mentioned brazil-google brazil and gas and youll find theyre the only country NOT dependent on foriegn oil,they make the majority of fuel to ethenol from sugar cane.we have the technology to make the exact ethanol from corn staulks (after theyve been harvested) which is basicly trash.they can pull the sugars from any green plant.

Chief Causes for Concern NOx

is one of the main ingredients involved in the formation of ground-level ozone, which can trigger serious respiratory problems. <LI>reacts to form nitrate particles, acid aerosols, as well as NO2, which also cause respiratory problems. <LI>contributes to formation of acid rain. <LI>contributes to nutrient overload that deteriorates water quality. <LI>contributes to atmospheric particles, that cause visibility impairment most noticeable in national parks.
• reacts to form toxic chemicals.
• contributes to global warming.

NOx and the pollutants formed from NOx can be transported over long distances, following the pattern of prevailing winds in the U.S. This means that problems associated with NOx are not confined to areas where NOx are emitted. Therefore, controlling NOx is often most effective if done from a regional perspective, rather than focusing on sources in one local area.
