Green Capitalism - Waves of the Future
Climate Change, Non-Renewable Resources, Energy, Contaminants, Carbon Pricing...Hybrid, Electrical, and Hydrogen Cars and Vehicles
The Automobile Industry and the Upcoming SPV
Hybrid vehicles are only a short term solution for the environment.
Given the impending shortage of many base metals, the transportation of the future will have to be based on highly conservational (using less materials) and environment-friendly vehicles, that is, towards Single-Passenger electrical Vehicles (SPVs).
This will result a dramatic reduction of fossil fuel use and carbon emissions, much healthier cities, as well as the conservation of metals. The Green Economic Environment could make this happen as quickly as we want.

The resulting incentive structure would promote a reduction in the size of cars to decrease both their raw-materials content and fuel consumption. Cars would get much smaller and narrower, which would increase energy efficiency, save resources, and reduce traffic congestion.
SPVs would be powered by either hydrogen cells or batteries (and convertible from one to the other) as electricity would become more competitive than fossil fuels under the GEE.
