| Our country has been in troubled economic times for | | | | in automobiles is the Air Engine. It is an engine that |
| the past year now and almost no one is immune to | | | | works by expanding compressed air and this releases |
| this recession. It is common knowledge that high oil | | | | energy. This method is not really anything new and |
| prices, mortgage debt problems and the war in iraq | | | | has actually been around for a few centuries but the |
| helped to get us into these troubled times but the | | | | technology is starting to become very efficient during |
| the problem is we as a nation depend too much on | | | | the last few years. A company called Zero Pollution |
| oil and the oil companies to help satisfy our addiction | | | | Motors has been working on a car that runs on air |
| for quick energy. Another problem is global warming. | | | | and a combination of either ethanol or most kinds of |
| Many studies have been done that have shown that | | | | biofuels. Theoretically this air car could have a range |
| burning fossil fuels (fuels made from the fossils of | | | | of between 750 to 950 miles based on a single tank |
| animals) contribute significantly to global warming | | | | of air and 8.2 gallons of biofuel. This is an exciting |
| because they increase greenhouse gas in the | | | | new kind of vehicle with the potential to have zero |

| fact that oil demands among the new powerhouse | | | | range of just under 1000 miles per fillup. Alot of |

| astronomical rates you can begin to see the urgency | | | | vehicle as our savior but with this air car it will utilize |
| for us to start researching alternative biofuels that | | | | biofuels in a way that will not only help us end ourt |
| will help us solve the global warming problem and also | | | | dependency on oil but also give our atmosphere |
| give us cheaper fuels sources that we can easily | | | | some breathing room to get out of the danger zone |
