On: Updated: Nissan to roll out electric cars in the US with aid of $1.6bn loan
going green
A fan is situated under the bonnet of the car which generates power. This is then stored in a battery.
The car has to be moving to work. So what will happen if the car runs out of power? The wind will go through the grill and then start the fan which creates power that will be stored in the battery for later use
Also the power, that the brakes create when used, will power to the battery.
The car has dynamos in the wheels to work the lights like the old bicycles used to have. If you would like a drawing I can send you one.
Thank you

Bodes well for Dot Eco!
This is great news, and it bodes well for our dot eco domain proposal (www.doteco.info), especially as our community is focussed on actions and transparency in order to get a dot eco domain.

Rubber and NOS
Afaik, Spaceship One (and thus SS2, I'm presuming) ran on Nitrous Oxide and rubber. Wouldn't rubber coming from plants be largely carbon neutral?
If that's the case, the main environmental worry should be what stratospheric flights do to the ozone layer.

Coal-fired Utility Plants and Carbon Dioxide
Coal is a form of carbon. When carbon burns in sufficient air it forms heat and carbon dioxide CO2. When there is less air available less heat and carbon monoxide, CO is formed. Carbon monoxide is greenhouse gas, but has not been recognized as such. It is also toxic. By controling the air supply it is possible for the allowance of CO2 carbon dioxide not to be exceeded. Toxic carbon monoxide can be emitted instead, and the plant can meet regulatory requirements, for emisions of CO2, carbon dioxide. The amount of coalused will also increase, when the production of toxic carbon monoxide occurs. Production of this toxic gas, carbon monoxide, must not be allowed to compromise the health of the poplution living near the coal-fired utility plant.

Voluntary?
This new guidance on environmental claims is voluntary and applicable only in the UK, correct?
Is there something similar in the US?
