Are we in the 21st Century?

 

You would think that with all this technology that has come over the last 10-20 years that we would really be more advanced in certain areas.

Like the gasoline powered vehicle, I can't believe their still on the road. With pollution, cost of gasoline and the bad chemicals that come from gasoline it should be banned from the country.

And if you think you having a bad day, take a look at these two character's and lets hope this painting is false and Thank God it's Friday ;o)

Hello Dianne 

Go figure and the greed of corporate oil companies in the United States would never allow that

I just bought a new car and am very pleased with the gas efficiency. They are moving in the right direction.

I have often wondered why solar power is not more popular as an alternative fuel. It is definitely under utilized. Love the pic...wonder what mpg that flying saucer gets?

Hello Diana ...

And I think there is a solar powered car that's being tested now but the oil companies are against all vehicles that run on anything but gas.

Good morning VB.  Sooner or later the fossil fuel will be no more.  They (governments and the oil companies) need to get off their keister and get going.

Robert Vegas Bob Swetz Must be you were visiting Area 51? Too bad the alternatives to gas are too limited still.

Solar power is gaining here in Arizona. More and more homes are putting solar panels on roofs.

Hello Harry,


Warren Buffet bought NEVADA POWER controlling Las Vegas and surrounding areas and home owners are no longer allowed to put panels on their roofs.

Hello James and I totally agree, and I think that people are going to go beyond the boundaries of government control.

Hello Harry

I love the idea of solar panels on homes, windmills around the country but what about cars? Let's start producing cars with solar panel roofs that feed power to batteries that run cars.

Hi Vegas Bob - Area 51?  That sounds onerous.  Maybe we are living in a parallel universe.

It's something that's so obvious can be such a mysterious thing all at the same time. Do you know what I mean?

From the things I've studied and I started to research more, technology is delayed based on what's making money, very often at least

VB, 

I think we have too many industries which depend on gasoline vehicles for any major push to a new type of auto other than the electric acrs.
