Question by mfox949: What are the other environmental impacts of Hybrid cars?
I have heard rumors that the manufacture of the nickle batteries is an environmental nightmare in China creating exess waste and the need to then transport these batteries. Then their life span is only about 100K, once that battery is done it is the worst kind of waste, toxic, non-biodegradeable and non recyclable. On your Green Car ratings the Prius gets an 86 while the Mercedes M-Class gets an 8. Did you consider that the Mercedes will run up to or past 300K and is almost 100% recyclable with the exception of the small battery?

Answer by campbelp2002
I question your statements about how much pollution the batteries are really responsible for. Also, the batteries could be recycled like regular lead-acid batteries are.

EDIT- CAN PEOPLE STOP LEAVING COMMENTS SAYING WHAT THEY THINK THEY LYRICS ARE YOUR COMMENT WILL BE DELETED THE LYRICS ARE RIGHT AND IF YOU EVEN BOTHERED TO PAY FOR THE CD YOU COULD CHECK THAT FOR YOURSELF IN THE LYRIC BOOK. Jungle: I see no point in living life that right, so I just take what I can find. I see no point in living life that right, when your out here in this jungle. It’s wild round ‘ere, you don’t wanna spend a night round ‘ere. When your out here in this jungle, aint nothing nice round ‘ere, troubles what you find round ‘ere. When your out here in this jungle, in this jungle. Your always caught in this struggle, in this jungle . But you keep asking for trouble, you love? You love when trouble comes your way, your way, your way. Verse 1: Welcome to Hackney, a place where I think somebody’s been playing Jumanji. A Manor where man are like animals, an’ they’ll yam on you like they yam on food. Cats with claws that’ll stab a yout’, act bad an’ catch a slap or two. We don’t applaud success, all we clap are tools. London aint cool to cruise through where the hunters pray, Looking lunch today, and your chains looking like fresh fruit to a hungry ape. They’ll eat on you, then laugh about it like Hyenas do, so stick to breezing through, like cheeta’s do or be a piece of food. Chorus When your out here in this jungle. It’s wild round ‘ere, you don’t wanna spend a night round ‘ere. When your out here in this jungle, aint nothing nice round ‘ere, troubles what you find …

Tax Credit for Hybrid Car

Tax Credit for Hybrid Car

These days, there is a rise in new fuel-efficient hybrid car products for sale. Due to this rise the government is compelled to apply taxes. Those who are planning on buying a hybrid car should not be at a loss though. The Internal Revenue Service has already legitimized a handful of hybrid car brands and models for a tax credit. This may be a pretty good offer for those planning on buying a hybrid car, and it could be one of the best incentives initiated so far.

What Tax Credit Is

If you purchased a hybrid car on or after January 1, 2006, your purchase may be eligible for a tax credit that can amount to 0 to ,400. The amounts vary depending on how the fuel economy goes. Conversely, the tax credit may only be temporary because it also relies on whether new hybrid cars and other cars are in demand. This suggests that tax credits could last just a short period of time whenever manufacturers arrive at a certain mark in their car sales. Apparently, hybrid car brands that aren’t as popular will not be greatly affected if the number of sales does not increase too quickly.

Models That Are Qualified

The IRS has produced a list of all hybrid cars that have the possibility of being qualified for a tax credit. This list is comprised of automobiles that are sold after January 1, 2006 as well as those payable in 2008. Relevant tax credit totals are listed in the following document:

2007 Chevrolet Silverado (2WD): 0.00 2007 Chevrolet Silverado (4WD): 0.00 2007 Ford Escape 4 WD Hybrid: ,950 2007 Ford Escape Front WD Hybrid: ,600 2007 GMC Sierra (2WD): 0.00 2007 GMC Sierra (4WD): 0.00 2007 Honda Accord Hybrid AT: ,300 2007 Honda Accord Hybrid Navi AT: ,300 2007 Honda Civic GX compressed natural gas vehicle: ,000 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid CVT: ,100 2007 Lexus GS 450h: ,550 2007 Lexus RX 400h 2WD and 4WD: ,200 2007 Mercury Mariner 4 WD Hybrid: ,950 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid: ,350 2007 Saturn Aura Green Line: ,300 2007 Saturn Vue Green Line: 0 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid: ,600 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid 2WD and 4WD: ,600 2007 Toyota Prius: ,150

New Cars Only

The government may offer a tax credit for hybrid cars, but limitations still apply. For instance, only hybrid cars that are new are qualified for a tax credit. When a buyer purchases a hybrid car, it must not be a used car. Furthermore, hybrid cars that have been purchased by the buyer cannot be sold again. You must buy a hybrid car only for personal or business use, and not for any other purpose.

The thing about acquiring the tax credit for hybrid car goods is that your income tax liability will be lessened. Furthermore, any surplus cannot be passed on to the succeeding year. What all this information means is that, the government is practically encouraging the purchase of automobiles that are more energy-saving and environmentally friendly by giving buyers the benefit of saving money on gas. Additionally, the government is allowing buyers of hybrid cars to save through tax breaks.

What is the best way to convert my mustang to a ‘green car’?

Question by gentri r: What is the best way to convert my mustang to a ‘green car’?
It’s gasoline, right now and I’ve been wanting to convert it to a more greener car. What method would be best? Electric? I’ve looked at electric conversion kits, which seems best for me as I could more easily raise money for that then a whole new car. But I don’t have the know how to put the kit in my car, and I don’t know of anyone else around here that would know either. I live in Oklahoma, is there a place nearby that could do this for me, and if so, how much would cost?

Electric Cars are good for environment

Electric Cars are good for environment

Electric cars are currently touted to save the mother Earth from the issue of global warming but are they really capable of doing that? After all, electricity is generated from coal and coal, just like petrol, is a non-renewable source of energy. Are we better off with the electric cars or do we just need to make the fuel based cars more energy efficient? Electric car certainly save on energy, no doubt about that but they are not zero emission automobiles. Driving it still involves a lot of money and you’d be surprised to know that 49.7 percent of US electricity is generated from coal. However, these cars are certainly much lower in carbon dioxide emissions as compared to the fuel based ones. Toyota recently came out with the Tesla Roadster which gives you 245 milers of travel on a single charge. There is also the 2006 Corolla which is excellent in fuel efficiency give an average of 31 miles on a single gas galleon provided it has manual transmission. After a hundred miles, the Corolla will produce 63.11 pounds of carbon dioxide through 3.23 gallons of gas. Energy Information Administration says that one gallon of gas emits 19.564 pounds of carbon dioxide. This figure again doesn’t include the energy which is spent on taking the oil out of the ground.

Looking at the Roadster, you will find that this electric car give you 100 miles of travel on a single charge. Out of this, only 70 percent is used in the vehicle movement and the rest is lost due to the inefficiency in charging processor. One kilowatt of electricity generation produces about 1.55 pounds of carbon dioxide and this means the Tesla, in 100 miles, produces 48.05 pounds of carbon dioxide. You can check for yourself and the results will wary a bit, depending upon your state. States like West Virginia, North Dakota and Wyoming use a lot of coal and hence the CO2 production is higher. Roadster will end up with a lower carbon dioxide production at the end of the day. On the flip side, if you are a motorist from the Pacific Northwest, I would recommend an EV since this region uses hydroelectric pumps. You can check on the Internet regarding how much electricity does your state make from coal.

Lower emission of carbon dioxide is not the only reason to purchase electric cars. You won’t see a single electric car having a tail pipe on the back which means these automobiles will not put a thick pile of smoke when they are running. The electric cars produce less nitrous oxide, methane and other green house gases as compared to the gas counterparts. The only exception to this is sulfur dioxide which is produced a lot by coal combustion and can result in acid rain.

The biggest drawback with the electric cars is that they need huge batteries and they are a bit difficult to manufacture. Some people say that if you take in to account the process that is needed for making these batteries, it makes the electric cars less greener.
