Automobile sales rise - Benn - 05-19-2008
Despite all the problems concerning ecology, sales of cars keeps growing. This is probably a sign that people are not ready yet to use untraditional source of energy.
Re: Automobile sales rise - Faw_Peter - 05-28-2008
untraditional energy sources are difficult to implement, since people are used to traditional energy, and I consider that human is not ready for changes

everyday the demand for fuel grows by 100,000 tons while the supply decreases by 100,000 tons.

"Bio-diesel" is already on the market, the hybrids too, the scientists are still searching ecologic solutions...
Re: Automobile sales rise - Faw_Peter - 07-07-2008
can you imgine how many plantations of plants people will need to produce daily biodiesel? It's very much, I don't think this is the future.

It would be great if scientists invent a car which uses salty water. We have enough of that for several centuries I think.

The rise in car sales is explicable. The oil prices are surging and many people are leaving their SUV’s and buy cars with a less powerful engine but which are most cost effective in this situation.
Re: Automobile sales rise - Faw_Peter - 08-16-2008
yes, and they are doing a damn good work! One "hummer" eats 30 litres of fuel per 100 km! Hummer possessors should pay the tax ten times more than common drivers!

They are already punished by the excessive consumption and expenses.
Re: Automobile sales rise - Benn - 08-31-2008
oh really? I think the one who holds a hummer car has very little concerns about his finances, 'cause he got them more than enough. The buyer knows what he does when buying a car!

A personal oil station is the next level of glamour of the rich and famous.
Re: Automobile sales rise - M.Helen - 09-18-2008
Hakan, this will cost more expensive than filling at ordinary stations. I mean by only have one station - there are a lot of expensive, especially for transporting the oil + a big area for building it on.
Re: Automobile sales rise - Nicholas - 09-18-2008
For really rich people - this is just another toy.

Re: Automobile sales rise - Nicholas - 09-22-2008
Benn was referring to the financial aspect of this issue.
Re: Automobile sales rise - Faw_Peter - 09-22-2008
what is the opposite of hammer? A car that consumes almost no and very little fuel?
Re: Automobile sales rise - Karl.in.eu - 09-26-2008
Well there are many cars that run on alternative fuel
Re: Automobile sales rise - Hakan G - 09-26-2008
Only pop stars can afford them now, and what is worse - they do it for promotion purposes only. I remember reading that Paul McCartney bought himself a hybrid car but his PR manager ordered for it to be shipped by air, which meant that the pollution caused to the atmosphere, was equal to driving a car 40 times around the globe.

I didn't know that. Stars are often so dreamy that they don't realize what they do. If we count how many times Paul McCartney used the plane for arriving to world countries, I think it would be equal to several thousands cars driving 40 times around the world
