What are Green Vehicles? Learn from an expert

A Time magazine article says, “Arnold Schwarzenegger may have signed the world’s toughest anti-global-warming law, but it is Democrat Terry Tamminen, his environmental adviser, who is emerging as the state’s real Terminator, winning industry support and the endorsement of a Republican Governor for a mandate to reduce the state’s emissions 80% by 2050.”

Terry’s new book, Lives per Gallon, is an unblinking assessment of the true price of petroleum and a prescription for change. The choice is clear: continuing paying with our health, or kick our addiction and evolve beyond an oil-dependent economy.

Listen to this interview with Terry as he discusses the following:

  • What is a “green vehicle”?
  • Are there tax incentives for purchasing a hybrid vehicle?

  • What are “alternative fuel sources”?
  • How are “biodiesel” and “ethanol” created?
  • What is “cellulosic ethanol” and why is cleaner than regular ethanol?
  • How do I know if my car will run on either biodiesel or ethanol?
  • How easy is it to convert my car to run on biodiesel or ethanol?
  • What is “natural gas” and why is it the cleanest burning of all the fossil fuels?
  • Can I buy a car that runs on natural gas?
  • What is a “zero emissions vehicle”?
  • Where can I buy an electric car?
  • What is a “hybrid” car?
  • How affordable are hybrid cars?
  • What is “hydrogen fuel cell technology” and how is it created?
  • Why are some people concerned about hydrogen fuel cell technology?
  • Is hydrogen fuel cell technology a potential replacement for gasoline?
  • Do we need to use fossil fuels to create hydrogen fuel cells?
  • How long will it be before I can buy a hydrogen fuel cell car?

    There are a lot of people here. I’ll join you guys. Believe it or not, many people fail in commenting stuff. I’m just trying to say a simple thing – before commenting something, think twice!
