It's the technicians that produce the desalinization plants.

Many believe that the crisis can be prevented through conservation, technology, smart growth, recycling, electric cars and hybrids, substitution, or voting.

like the car has ESP.

The automobile runs on electricity.

Tom drives an electric car.

So this is what we've built.

Some sort of microelectro technology.

And then finally, electric vehicles.

Electric cars can be recharged at home.

There are industrial applications.

Streetcars run on electricity.

In fact, I looked to a technology that neither stores nor generates electricity, but instead consumes electricity, huge amounts of it.

And let me show you.

This man is Steven Sassoon.

The performance of electric cars has improved.

This is an early design for this little three wheel.

And so it's sort of a mini well.

It is only possible to reclaim a fraction of the material being recycled a large portion is lost forever as waste.

(Laughter)

They're usually parked within 100 feet of the people that own them.

(Laughter)

If we are going to reinvent the automobile today, rather than 100 years ago, knowing what we know about the issues associated with our product and about the technologies that exist today, what would we do?

New automated technology we've developed

His car collided with a train.

The car he was riding crashed into a train.

Muffin Will you glide with us? (Guy

This toy car runs on batteries.

I hope for a solar battery car.

I want a car that runs on solar power.

It seems that in Japan too, electric taxis will be operated by robots.

The one technology that spans rich and poor in places like this is not anything to do with industrial technology.

We have developed a tremendous appreciation for the capabilities of human race car drivers.

Where will they plug in their electric cars then?

And these are more practical applications.

These will be your transports for the afternoon. No drivers? No.

What is the most surprising thing about the experience of driving the car?

Tom is an electrical engineer.

In 40 years' time, in the year 1900, in the United States of America, there were 1,001 car manufacturing companies 1,001.

We have to get to a power plant.

Let's say we converted all the vehicles in the United States to battery electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles or flex fuel vehicles run on E85.

So the electrified autos make the auto and electricity problems easier to solve together than separately.

His invention gave birth to a new field of science, electrochemistry, and new technologies such as electroplating.

CO2 emissions.
