Best solutions


The good news is that we can slow and eventually stop global warming, but we must act today. The most important step we can take to curb global warming is to improve our nation's energy efficiency. Our cars and light trucks, home appliances and power plants could be made much more efficient by simply installing the best current technology. Energy efficiency is the cleanest, safest, most economical way to begin to curb global warming.
No global warming solution will succeed unless we can control emissions from cars. If U.S. autos were a separate country, they would be the world’s fifth largest global warming polluter, emitting more than all sources in Great Britain combined!
While there is no technology to remove C02 from a car's exhaust, we can make them pollute less by making them more fuel efficient. By using today's best technology, car makers could dramatically increase the fuel economy of their cars and trucks. In fact, off-the-shelf technology can change the nation’s best-selling SUV, the Ford Explorer, from a 19 mpg gas-guzzler to an efficient 34 mpg vehicle. Gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles, such as the 70 mpg Honda Insight and 55 mpg Toyota Prius, can be used to obtain significant improvements in fuel economy. If we are to make any progress in slowing global warming, we must make our cars go farther on a gallon of gas.

All the governments around the world have to change their thinking for the benefit of earth and all the living organisms that live on it. oil fuel should be replaced with other type of fuel like gas, gas is more cleaner and it wast that come out from the car is just water. in the UAE there are some cars that run on gas and they work in a good way. ADNOC will open soon a garage to change the car system to run on gas.

I like your ideas, but this post sounds plagiarized. What is mpg? What do you mean when you say,

? Sounds "copied" to me!
