Hymotion Plug In Hybrid Electric Vehicle - Tomorrow’s Technology for Today’s Vehicle
If someone asks you today if there is a car that can cut North America's oil imports to a minimum and reduce pollution significantly at the same time, what would be your answer?
Hymotion's Battery Range Extender Modules (BREMs) convert Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) into Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHEV) with 100+mpg fuel efficiency and the power to fight climate change. The advantages of Hymotion’s BREM PHEV conversions include better fuel economy, fewer visits to gas station, lower fuel costs, less pollution and a significantly longer all-electric drive range --- the solution for spiking gas prices, CO2 emissions and dependence on imported oil.

The first commercial application of the Electrical Energy Storage Units (EESU) is intended to be used in electric vehicles under a technology agreement with ZENN Motors Company.
EEStor, Inc. remains on track to begin shipping production 15 kilowatt-hour EESU to ZENN Motor Company in 2007 for use in their electric vehicles. The production EESU for ZENN Motor Company will function to specification in operating environments as sever as negative 20 to plus 65 degrees Celsius, will weigh less than 100 pounds, and will have ability to be recharged in a matter of minutes.
Headquartered in Cedar Park, Texas, EEStor, Inc. is dedicated to the design, development, and manufacturing of high-density energy storage devices. Utilizing revolutionary ultra capacitor architecture and environmentally friendly materials the EEStor, Inc. EESU will compete against all existing battery technologies. The EEStor, Inc. EESU IS capable of microsecond recharging and millions of 100% charge/discharge cycles. The technology is affordable and designed for versatile "racked and stacked" configurations.

Way for Plug-In Hybrid Car Development by Google
Instead of waiting around for existing automakers and government approval for the future of environmentally conscious vehicles, Google has taken matters into its own hands. The philanthropic branch of Google, Google.org has given out over $1 million in grants through their RechargeIT program to developers promoting awareness and new technology for plug-in hybrid cars.
Seen as the trend of the future, plug-ins would replace current gasoline-battery hybrid engines by running almost solely on electric power that would use the gasoline engine only to recharge the car’s electric battery. In preliminary test trials, the chiefly electric-run engines were up to 30 mpg more efficient than current hybrid models.
Known for its green practices, Google has also begun running its immense solar panel grid at the organization’s California corporation. The solar structure will power an experimental fleet of plug-in vehicles in a partnership between Google.org and A123Systems / Hymotion.

Sign the petition to start our clean energy future now!
“Congress must act now to move our country toward a clean energy economy based on solar and wind power by voting yes on H. R. 969, the Federal Renewable Energy Standards Act.”
We need to start our clean energy future now. We can get electricity from solar and wind, create jobs, and save consumers money--all in one bill. The U.S. currently gets only 2% our our electricity from solar, wind, and other alternative fuel sources. If we pass H.R. 969, the Federal Renewable Energy Standards Act, we will increase that number to 20% by 2020--the equivalent of taking almost 37 million cars off the road.

Apollo Alkaline Fuel Cell creates new lead cobalt battery that powers cars, homes and more!
The Apollo Moon Mission of the 1960’s was successful because of the alkaline fuel cell which provided all the power for the space ship. Apollo Energy Systems, Inc. Has improved that fuel cell, protected it with pending patents, and named it the Apollo Alkaline Fuel Cell. By coupling this fuel cell with an advanced, lightweight, lead cobalt battery, also protected by pending patents, new energy systems have been developed which are called Apollo Power Plant Systems and Apollo Electric Propulsion Systems.
The new world will operate on a new kind of energy -- energy from Apollo Alkaline Fuel Cells and Lead Cobalt Batteries. When combined, these energy sources give us an Apollo Power Plant System which can supply power for:
Residential, commercial and industrial establishments
Computer installations, elevator systems, cable TV networks
Land vehicles -- cars, trucks, buses, motor homes, fork lift trucks, golf carts, etc.
Water vehicles - ships, submarines, boats
Aircraft of all types that operate in the earth's atmosphere
And more

Earth The Sequel
Red Krupp, President of the Environmental Defense Fund and journalist Miriam Horn have just published a fascinating book called Earth: The Sequel - The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming.
The book tells the story of scientists and businessmen working on the front lines to solve the climate crisis, turning our planet's greatest threat into our greatest economic opportunity.
The book also explores breakthroughs in solar, wind, and biomass technologies, in addition to examining how we must reinvent everything from cars to concrete and replace our current outdated centralized electrical grid with a smart, multidirectional energy network.
