Toronto mayor announces hybrid conversion project
Last week David Miller, mayor of Canada’s largest city, announced plans to convert hybrid vehicles to plug-in models that can be charged by any wall socket. Miller’s goal is too have more hybrids on Toronto streets leading to cleaner air and less pollution. The city will work to create an infrastructure to support such vehicles.
Hydrogen’s Second Coming
ANY discussion of a future generation of hydrogen cars inevitably leads to the same question: Where will I fill the tank?
While automakers have demonstrated that they can build vehicles that produce no tailpipe pollutants, the commercial availability of hydrogen to power them remains a showstopper. There are other issues, of course — the cost of fuel cells and the methods of storing hydrogen among them — but matters like driveability and safety are no longer impediments to retail introduction.
