What should come next – hybrid, hydrogen, or other?

[Garibaldi]

This is obviously a big issue today with the high gas prices and other economic factors. What do you think should come next? What type of technology should be in tommorrow’s cars on the road? Is the hybrid – gas/electric combo – the solution and should we work towards better and better mpg, or should we move away from gas now completely and work with hydrogen, even if we can’t make it completely stable. After all gasoline isn’t exactly nonreactive. Or should we turn in another direction, like nuclear powered cars (there’s a thought 😯 ) or just stick with a modified and improved internal combustion engine?

I would imagine they’d have to augment them with some kind of noise maker to act as an auditory alert.

That would be interesting, I’m sure people would start customizing them to their own preferences Drogar-Laugh(LBG).gif

Hey Garibaldi,

Do you read Car and Driver at all?
If not check this out http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=27&article_id=10403 do a search on Mr. Csere, him and Patrick Bedard have a few articles on Hybrids that are worth reading.

That is a difficult question as to which direction to go. First thing is at least we need to make an effort, if its hybrids or hydrogen there needs to be a serious effort made. Until the great majority of people are willing to find an alternative it isn’t going to make much difference. Not much is going to happen unless the oil lobby gets a whole lot weaker.
