been traced back to motor vehicle emissions, like hydrocarbon gasses
containing methane, carbon dioxide, but also carbon monoxide, nitrogen
oxides, precursors to smog and acid rain, sulphur oxide and other
particulates. Environmental protection agencies have imposed stricter
regulations on car manufacturers, who in turn figured out a feasible
way to reduce emission to the new standards.
The solution provided by the automotive industries are not electric
cars, magnet propelled cars, cars that run on water steam, cars
propelled by solar energy or wind energy, but rather more of the same
combustion engine, with a little bit electric car gadgetry thrown in,
just enough to meet the imposed limitations. While the reluctance to go
all the way towards new and environment friendly solutions may have
some base, where the majority of customers may not embrace the new
technology as readily as the digital revolution; the
