Do you believe in the car without oil nearly ?

Compressed air-powered cars are not zero emissions. Electric cars are not zero-emissions. If your car ran on compressed air, you would need an air compressor to power it. Air compressors today are typically either gas-powered (they have an engine on them) or electric-powered (they have a motor on them). If they're electric, then the energy comes mostly from burning coal (in the United States, anyway). Coal is decidedly not zero-emissions. It's one of the filthiest energy supplies we have. Burning coal actually emits more radioactive particles (impurities in the coal, released when it's burned) than a nuclear power plant.Do you believe in the car without oil nearly ?
My French is a little rusty, but as I understand it, the article says the car runs on compressed air and can run up to 200 km on one fill. That's very impressive. It makes me wonder once again why American auto manufacturers are so far behind on zero-emission vehicle technology.





[edit]


I'm sure by now most people have read about the 65 mpg Ford diesel car that will be sold only in Europe, not in the USA (see first link). There's something a little fishy about their claim that it isn't economically feasible to build the engines here or import them. They have no trouble making a full line of diesel engines for their full-size trucks (second link), but they want us to believe they can't afford to make a smaller one? I can't help being suspicious that there's something more to the story. If the French can build a car that doesn't use any gas, why can't the Americans build one that doesn't guzzle it like there's no tomorrow?
same can be accomplished with an electric car, and it's easier to find somewhere to plug in than somewhere to compress air for you.
That war against friction was supposedly won in the early 1960's and the product was Molybdenum Disulphide.
