Relitive Comments
I thought that the blog was very nice. Lots of different articles covering what I think is the full range of fuel efficient cars, and not just different types of fuel efficient cars. So over all I thought it was very well laid out, and he did a nice job.
Response to Obama Issues Orders Toward More Fuel-Efficient Cars
I think this information is helpful because is show that we are starting to come together and take a little control of this situation. Even though it wont be until 2020 but I guess its a start. This has helped me because I have found some government restrictions to my topic. Some questions I might ask is what are the vehicles going to be like in 10 years?
Notes to Obama Issues Orders Toward More Fuel-Efficient Cars
This news article is about Obama putting limits of new cars MPG, and strict tailpipe emission standards. Obama signed wavers stating each state can put there own strict tailpipe emission. California set there standers to 30% less emissions. Obama is starting MPG standers for all new cars for 2020. setting the tailpipe emission standers global warming pollution will reduce more than 450 million metric tons by 2020, an amount equal to eliminating all of the pollution from 84.7 million of today's cars for a year.
Response to Is the hybrid worth it?
I think this information was important because I think a lot of people wonder if buy a new hybrid car is really worth it because they just cost so much. So buy doing that equation I think people could really figure out if it is worth it or not. I don't think this really helped me in any way because I'm not planing on buying a hybrid, but then it is because if some of the reviews people found that it is worth buying a hybrid. A question I would ask is how many people found that it is not really worth it to them and why?
Notes to Is the hybrid worth it?
This sites gives you a little equation that shows you how much you spend on gas a year. It goes how many miles you drive a year times the prise of gas per gallon divided buy the MPG of you vehicle. Then you Do the same thing with the hybrid you are going to buy. Then you take the amount of the hybrid and divide it with the amount of money you save per year with the hybrid, and you get how many years it will take for that hybrid to pay for its self. The it is sort of up to you f it is worth it or not. But in a lot of cases people found that it is worth it.

Notes to Niassan land glider
The Nissan land glider is a zero emissions, and fully electric. It is a single person car. which is 3.5 feet wide, 10 feet long, and 4.6 feet high. It has four wheels, and is built to lean into turns like a motorcycle. The cockpit looks, and feels like a airplane with the steering wheel is the u looking wheel just like a airplane. The battery, and power system they say is like a leaf, but they don't explain any further.

Responce to genepax shows off water-powerd fuel call car
I think this is important because if we get cars running on water that would be great. But I think a big problem is you need clean filtered water so I think it is going to be hard to keep up with the demand of water if the cars do come out. The way it changes my thinking is this is a huge step I think in fuel efficient cars. The question I would ask is how are would we keep up with the demand of clean water for the cars?
Notes To - Genepax shows off water-powered fuel cell vehicle
This is a car that runs on water. But it doesn't really run on water. The car has a Water Energy System fuel cell that has a material that can break down water into hydrogen and oxygen, and then the car runs off the hydrogen. The system cost right now to build is $18,700, but if it was to go into mass production the prise would drop to $5,000

Response to CNN: World Oil and Gas "Running Out"
I think this information is important because it tells you why people should invest in a fuel efficient car because of how the oil is getting used up so fast that people say it is all going to be gone in a few years. It does change my thinking because I wonder what we are going to do if the world does run out of oil in a few years because I don't think the world is prepared at all for that to happen. So the question I would ask if what we are going to do if the world does run out of fuel.
Notes To CNN: World Oil and Gas "Running Out"
The world's oil reserves are up to 80 percent less than predicted, a team from Sweden's University of Uppsala says. Production levels will peak in about 10 years' time, they say. The Swedish geologists say oil production levels will hit their maximum soon after 2010 with gas supplies peaking not long afterwards. Some say at that prices for petrol and other fuels will reach disastrous levels. Also some other studies say oil supplies will not start falling until 2050. The Uppsala team say the amount of oil and gas left is the equivalent of around 3,500 billion barrels of oil -- the IPCC say between 5,000 and 18,000 billion barrels, and the world uses 29 billion barrels a year.
Respose to 2009 GMC sierra hybrid truck
I think this is important research because lots of people want trucks for work or they have stuff they keep in the back or what ever. But trucks don't get good gas mileage. but now the new GMC gets 19.6 mpg. It changes my thinking because I think that people Will start to get hybrid trucks because every other truck gets like 8 mpg. The question I would ask is why does the truck looks girly or weird.
