Energy Independence

Starting in June of 2008, I have relaunched z-car.com as a forum to help inform car enthusiasts about our need for energy independence.  I am interested in what alternatives we have, and how we can express our concerns to our elected officials in the government.

How can we transition to a clean, renewable energy and transportation economy?

I would like to see:

  • Policy solutions to accelerate early deployment and market development for hydrogen and fuel cell, biodiesel, and biomass-to-energy technologies
  • Research and advocacy in support of renewable hydrogen and renewable diesel, particularly from waste biomass
  • Opportunities to demonstrate and deploy hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles in tandem with hydrogen fueling infrastructure
  • Development of a standard for pure biodiesel for use as a fuel
  • Options for policy directives to convert agricultural waste into energy in a cost-effective manner
  • Government agencies, businesses and other non-profit organizations understanding the needs, merits, and pathways to the renewable fuels economy

      Most energy experts reckon that using maize-based ethanol as a substitute for petrol can reduce America’s demand for petrol by 10-15% at best. As for sugar, its growing value as a biofuel feedstock means that in Brazil, which is now one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of ethanol, there is pressure to flatten rainforests to make more room for sugar production.
