Link.
In less than 7 years, Mercedes-Benz plans to ditch petroleum-powered vehicles from its lineup. Focusing on electric, fuel cell, and biofuels, the company is revving up research in alternative fuel sources and efficiency.
The blogger goes on to note that while this is a step in the right direction, these types of alternately fueled cars are generally offsetting the fossil fuel consumption in various ways. Renewable energy sources (solar, wind, hydro) have yet to be really tapped and developed fully.
