Question:
From what I know, SUV & MPV (7-seater) are mostly high in fuel consumption. Have scientist found alternatives to fossil fuel? Can these car maker awarded ISO14000?

-------------There exists technology right now, today, that can do everything the big gas guzzlers do cleaner and cheaper. Few people know or believe it can be done, because for the most part, we believe exactly what we're told to believe. There is little incentive, on the part of industry, to promote this technology because it will hurt their profitability if it is widely adopted.

Okay, here comes the proof. Take a look at this car. This vehicle was developed with NO government funding, and no involvement from any major automakers:

The Phoenix electric pickup truck - using new, advanced Altairnano batteries (based on research from MIT) - can:
-Travel up to 250 miles per charge
-Carry 5 passengers plus cargo at 95mph.
-Charges batteries in as little as TEN MINUTES.
-Has batteries that last 250,000 miles (never need replacement.)

Yes, it is a real car - being manufactured right now for fleet customers like PG&E. But wait, there's more - here's another vehicle using the same batteries:

This "electric monster" sports 644 horsepower, and will do 155mph. It has a 350-mile range, and can also recharge in 10 minutes.

Electric cars do not pollute very much even if the powerplants do - because they are several times more efficient than gas vehicles (less energy per mile means less pollution per mile.)This means they conserve a lot more fuel, and are cheaper to drive. I drive an electric vehicle (a very old one.) It only costs me about a penny per mile in electricity.
*
EVs are also very cheap to maintain. Electric motors have only one moving part, and can go decades with no maintenance at all. This is why carmakers don't want to make them.
*
Finally, are EVs too expensive? Well, anything that is not mass produced will be too expensive. But EVs have fewer parts than conventional autos, and can be very cheap if built in a large factory. Here's proof. Look at these Chinese mass-produced EVs, and cheak out the prices. They start at $6500:

Whats the deffirence between "a pony car" and "a muscle car "?
Money ma-man, you dont have thats why you are an environmentlist. People who have money and dont know where to spend they can spend on many different expensive pleasures such as cars. And yes these companies have no objection from any government regarding build-up of the new models.Yeah,he's right on-money,money.The car companies build what sells.If they downsized everything to be more efficient ,hardly anyone would buy from them and they would go out of business.Market forces determine the form of the vehicles being sold and there aren't enough concerned buyers who care about the environment to sacrifice some comfort to save our world.
