Air Car- Zero Emissions coming to everywhere but the USA???

There really is a car that is running on AIR!!!  Yep – that is right – you heard it here – compressed air instead of explosions of oxygen and gas vapors in the engine cylinders…when you think of it – why not?

Rumors from across the pond suggest that thousands of  these little affordable cars are being produced and will hit the roads soon in India, Germany, France and other forward thinking nations…

How  about us???  Here  in the good ole USA?  I mean – I grew up just over an hour from Ford Motors original production plant…dont I deserve the best car that the planet can offer…not just a 20 miles per gallon vehicle cuz that is all the car dealers have around!!??

OR -Does this mean a road trip to buy an Air Car overseas and ship it back in small pieces so that customs doesn’t declare it to be illegal?  What else can a greengirl do?

By the way -I sold my cute 45mpg biodiesel Jetta and have now gotten a Honda Odyssey Minivan, only 20mpg…so that I can carry around my tons of stuff – like a good American Consumer….seems to be a constant need to carry around stuff!!

And – oh, yes  the best part….I traded out the cars for over $5000 to my favor- now going toward my new solar panels!!  That is one of the real reasons I traded out my sweet little Jetta…go solar!!!

By the way – that terrible $700Billion bail out had a rider for an  extension on  the 30% Federal  Tax Credit for solar panels (eight-year extension and expansion of federal tax credits that will save the homeowner installing an average photovoltaic system an additional $7,000)- and no $2000cap either – so get some installed!!!

Everything has its up and down  side I  guess…
