Not just Hot Air

The Air Car Blows Back into Picture

By Jim Motavalli New York Times.com

In recent times there has been a panic due to the sky rocketing fuel prices around the world and there has been many suggested solutions. It is common to hear the idea for off the United States’ shore drilling but I believe the only way to fix the problem is to look for alternative ways to fuel cars and a automobile engineer in France Guy Negre may have found the solution. Despite skepticism by many people there were videos released showing a car that can go over 35 MPH and runs only on compressed air. If this could be a realistic alternative to oil or a car that is much better for the environment then it would defiantly worth further investigation into the project so that the car could run faster for high way usage and be affordable so that some day it would be in the price range of owning a car for most people. There are obviously some problems and concerns that are brought up, however there will never be any progress if people are not willing to invest and try new products. The benefits that the car will work in my view far out number the risks of the car. The car came at a perfect time too because right now in the world there is a large surplus of air.
