This post is an eye opening vision of how we can become energy independent and free ourselves from the addiction to fossil fuels.
Energy guru Amory Lovins lays out his plan for weaning the US off oil and revitalizing the economy in the process. It’s the subject of his book Winning the Oil Endgame, and he makes it sound fairly simple: On one hand, the deadly risks of continued dependency, and on the other, some win-win solutions. One of those solutions is the HyperCar from FiberForge.
Currently 0.3 percent of the fuel you use moves the driver down the road! Nearly 90% of your fuel never makes it to your wheels.
The HyperCar puts fuel hogs to shame…
in fact it doubles as a rolling power station that could provide energy back into the grid.
That is called Vehicle to Grid. Which would be a perfect complement to our REnU solution… YEAH!
How does that work? Your HyperCar would have energy to spare. Each day you sell that extra energy back to the power company. Imagine that, the CAR, one of the biggest fuel problems, becomes part of the energy solution. Sound familiar? :~)
The actual amount of power that all the cars on the road generate today, is actually seven times the power of all the electricity power plants in the US combined!

“Thirty years from now there will be a huge amount of oil—and no buyers. Oil will be left inthe ground. The Stone Age came to an end, not because we had a lack of stones, and the OilAge will come to an end not because we have a lack of oil….[Fuel cell technology]is coming before the end of the decade and will cut gasoline consumption by almost 100 per cent….On the supply side it is easy to find oil and produce it, and on the demand side there are so many new technologies, especially when it comes to automobiles.”
—Sheikh Zaki Yamani,
Oil Minister of Saudi Arabia (1962–86), June 2000

“This exciting synthesis of how to eliminate America’s oil dependence could be the most important step in many years toward secure and affordable energy. Its novel but persuasive ideas, which hold promise of revitalizing American industry and agriculture, should appeal to conservatives and liberals alike.”
