You may find glass mat batteries or gel batteries on the shelf at your automotive outlet. These are a little more expensive than lead-acid batteries so they are not used as original equipment, but they have advantages in some applications. These batteries are "sealed" so they can be mounted in a variety of manners. Although the batteries are sealed, they do have a safety vent valve that can open if the battery becomes overheated. In glass mat batteries, the electrolyte is absorbed into a mat of fine glass fibers. In the gel batteries, the electrolyte is a gel. Also, the construction of the plates is different in these batteries from conventional lead-acid batteries to take advantage of the different electrolyte. Gel batteries and glass mat batteries work well where there is a lot of v...

Hence the move among American carmakers to concentrate instead on more familiar stopgap technologies. The current favourite is the "flex- fuel" vehicle that can run on either E85 (85 per cent ethanol and 15 per cent gasoline) or straight gasoline. You can see why. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 requires 7.5 billion U.S. gallons of biofuel be blended into gas by 2012.
For many drivers, that something better is cellulosic ethanol -- an alcohol made from straw, leaves, stalks, cane or, best of all, switchgrass, a hardy perennial that grows prolifically almost anywhere. Unlike most other forms of biomass, switchgrass uses the more efficient C4 fixation process to bind carbon dioxide from the air to form its ethanol-producing sugars.
Being a perennial, farmers don't have to reseed switchgrass...

Slipping the car into reverse and -- quietly, electrically -- backing out, Sebastian is reminded by the fuel gauge it's time to fill up. "It's easy to forget," he thinks, largely because it's been three months since he's been at the gas station. The first month was the worst, what with his kids' hockey playoffs all over the city. He wasn't able to get all his driving done during his 70-kilometre electric-only limit. Since then, the diesel generator, which provides added electricity when the battery dies down, just hasn't cut in.
