What is a "green vehicle"?
Probably the "greenest" vehicle is your bicycle and, of course, there's nothing wrong with your feet and your shoes. We could all stand to do a little more walking and a little more use of bicycles or mass transit, especially in the United States. But, if we've got to buy a personal vehicle, then, right now, there are alternatives to petroleum like natural gas, which, I drive a natural gas Honda Civic. There are Ford and General Motors and other manufacturers that make natural gas-powered cars. And while natural gas is also a fossil fuel and when you burn it, it does emit some greenhouse gases, it's exponentially cleaner than petroleum and, of course, we're not in foreign countries killing people for our supply of it. And then, of course, there are bio-fuels, there are a lot of, the manufacturers make what are now called "flex fuel" vehicles that are designed to run on either gasoline or ethanol and other bio-fuels. And we're beginning to see the electric car make a comeback, not necessarily with the major automakers, but smaller companies are beginning to make and sell electric cars. And then, finally, I think in the next couple of years, you'll be able to purchase a hydrogen-powered vehicle. And that will be the cleanest choice of all.
