...emit clean water exhaust. But until we get there, a variety of transitional technologies will try to squeeze as much efficiency as possible out of traditional engines. All major manufacturers are now rolling out hybrid cars that combine electric or alternative-fuel-burning engines with standard gas and diesel engines. Loremo believes that its models will be the first ultralight cars to go mass transit. "Our goal is to begin mass production of the first 10,000 cars in 2009, and until then we don't see any competition. None of the big manufacturers has plans for this segment," boasts...
...which adds to stability and reduces air resistance. Sommer claims that this design saves weight, improves aerodynamics and still provides resistance in a crash to the same level as other sports cars and subcompacts. The result is the Loremo LS, a car with a two-cylinder, 20-horsepower, turbo-diesel engine that maxes out at 160 km/h and is expected to cost just €11,000. The sportier version, the Loremo GT, has a three-cylinder engine, gets 100 km to 2.7 L of fuel and can hit speeds of 220 km/h. There are, however, a few design issues that...
...ports and squeeze in huge numbers of passengers, they also dump city-size volumes of sewage and bilge water--some of it treated, but much of it not. Every day these vessels foul harbors and coastal waters with millions of gallons of filthy water and pollute the air with diesel fumes. Cruise ships are exempt from most U.S. pollution laws. Until Congress increases regulation, floating cities will continue to foul our seas...
...reassure state governments nervous about the tab, Congress levied a 3% federal tax on gas and diesel fuel to pay 90% of construction costs. Congress subsequently expanded the network to include other routes and the new states of Hawaii and Alaska. And even now, ongoing fidgeting with the system - the repaving and widening of established highways and the construction of new metro commuter routes close to growing cities - suggests that old joke about New York City: "It'll be a great place if they ever finish building...
India's great hope runs on hope itself. Hope is the reason Gupta stays in Bombay, despite falling ill from diesel fumes each time she crosses the city. Samant says it's why, unlike in New Orleans, the people didn't disintegrate with their city after the floods. Hope brought Bombay together and keeps it together. "Look at Dharavi," he says of the city's notorious slum, the biggest in Asia. "The place has a GDP of $1 billion a year. Dharavi makes you realize everyone has a stake in keeping Bombay going." One day all those millions of expectations...
