I forgot to put here my article of the day…recently I have nearly no time to read news, but I need to read them…so I read as much as I can…but unfotunately I cant read much about the world, I read more about conflict resolution theory and looking for internship…:( Well the beginning of the article is here:
Due to technological revolution we can already imagine us driving not only solar-powered car, but also ocean energy-powered, oil or natural gas-powered and even nuclear-powered car.
Already the US gets about 20 percent of its electricity from nuclear power and with President Obama’s new commitment for more uranium-fired power plants, that percentage could rise a few points. So, depending on what grid your electric car is recharging from, or for that matter what time of day it is, your car could very well be storing electricity generated at a nuclear plant. If so you’ll have a nuclear-powered car.
All this assumes that someday you’ll be driving an electrically-driven car, which is a likelihood that’s increasing almost daily.
Certainly, financial help from Washington, using money on loan from the nation’s taxpayers, is helping to push along the drift toward electric driving. The requirement for automakers to meet new fuel economy standards is also helping the electric drive effort.
But government is not the only force behind this electric drive effort: Small companies and startups are getting into the electric car business because they want to. Ditto for big companies. Many of the majors are making sure electric cars and trucks are in their model portfolios of the future because they want them there. more
