Geothermal energy is often the great hope of renewable energy as it can be continuously and reliably produced?
Geothermal energy is often the great hope of renewable energy as it can be continuously and reliably produced 24/7. While it it has the best potential, it is very limited geographically. The best geothermal resources are in Alaska and California, and the best potential resources are west of the Rockies. How do we overcome the […]
Why are American automakers incapable of making a gas electric hybrid vehicle?
Is it just laziness? Lack of competetive spirit? The Escape Hybrid and Mercury Mariner Hybrid obviously don’t count, as they use technology licensed from Toyota!

Would you pay extra to buy a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle if it could run for 30-50 miles on electric only?
Would a car that ran for 30-50 miles between recharges on electricity only, but could switch instantly to conventional hybrid electric mode when the batteries ran low work for your lifestyle? Some hybrid vehicles can be converted to have a longer electric-only range and recharge overnight, but so far the major auto-makers don’t sell that […]
