Was watching 'Future Car' a few weeks ago. They had a car that would run on compressed air. Had it's own air compressor on it that put out mor than it took. The designer sugested to use his car and/or hydrogen fueled cars as a taxi in large cities so they would actually clean up the air pollution in some of these cities.Cool idea!

GM is making hybrid buses. Hybrid buses and taxis not only help cut down on pollution, they make make good economical sense by cutting down on fuel costs. It looks like a win/win situation. http://www.gm.com/company/gmab....html

Thank god! I heard this yesterday on the radio. Now if they can only incorporate something like San Fran did with the electric buses on some routes. Those things amazed me when I saw them. What a clean city
