Electric Highway, Has the Era of the Electric Car Arrived?
Description
In addition to accelerating the depletion of the planet’s oil reserves, gasoline-powered vehicles on America’s roads spew hundreds of millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere annually. Currently there are two major alternatives to oil-based fuel, both of which result in zero emissions at the point of use: hydrogen—a source of energy that will likely still be unavailable for widespread use for decades to come—and electricity. This program addresses the necessity of reducing vehicular impact on the environment, while considering some of the latest developments in electric car technology. (25 minutes)
