A new style of living is unfolding on this world. Challenges that seem to overwhelm current remedies are drawing on concept and imagination.

Fossil fuel has provided a great source of innovation that virtually defined the 20th century. Suburbia, roads, and a way of life in many ways liberated from the distance came with our car. But so did a lot of other things. Fossil fuels can not be exhausted. When the car was first built and designed, fossil fuels virtually no value and is the perfect solution for energy sources that were plentiful, cheap, simple and accessible.

I recall taking trips when I was a kid and when we entered the state of Texas we began counting countless oil wells. Who would have thought at that time that we would run out of this inexhaustible resource and consecrate what has been coined by Vitor falcon as 'the greatest transfer of wealth' in the history of humankind.

The dinosaur is dead and a new day is dawning.

What's so special about electric cars is that for all the promise of clean, renewable energy, there is now a practical answer, for the particular demands this kind of car does have.

Manufacturers have identified that most urban process travel is fewer than 100 miles, that the ability of electric car meets the needs of the typical driver in the United States and the industrial world.

Like any technology that receives focus scientific community capacity and economic opportunities for lithium-ion batteries are becoming more frequent. Using silicon instead of graphite gives more energy to store, because silicon absorbs large amounts of lithium in the charger. If you look at the progress of the size of computer storage and memory capacity in a production driven by demand, it is clear that when the electric car is a viable choice for consumers, these same types of advances can provide answers to the request bazaar. A lithium-ion battery can be recycled with minimal natural effect. About 95% of battery materials can be cured.

When we fill up with electricity, the fuel will have been resourced here, the capital for it will stay here, and the manufacturing of the resource will happen here, the tax revenue for our troubled government will stay here. The dawn of a new day of perhaps our founding fathers' most powerful inspiration, independence and self-reliance will begin.
