Green car ,but still indirectly it is not ECO-FRIENDLY
by ragavendra kotrike on Mar 27, 2008 04:06 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

MR Ganguly,

I know this car is pollution free since it doesnt emit any smoke but tell me how do you produce electricity?

You produce electricity thru,Thermal Power Stations or Gas Plants or Nuclear Power Station...so indirectly the the environoment is getting affected by utilising these resources and these power station release pollutants into atmosphere.

Could MR Ganguly,Rediff or anyone correct me if am wrong in my argument.

You are right, But wrong .!
A car manufacturer's duty is to make car that pollutes less.
And it's the duty of electricity manufacturer is to produce electricity by a process that produces less.
if someone takes led other's will follow ,
And you are a typical intelligent Indian who poses crooked questions, but cannot appreciate any good work!

It is very easy to crticise, but very difficult to suggest improvement. The world has not developed by critics, but by those who improved the earlier versions. Like other improvements, the eco-friendly vehicles will progress, it is need of the day. The creators of such vehicles should think of capturing the energy lost by applying brakes. Megnetic brakes
if designed to produce power to be stored in the battery, may not be done. The aerodynamic propultion can also give power to the battery. The direct transmission from motor to wheel in the vehicles if applied with the centrifugal variator, as are used in gearless scooters, there will be increase in speed and more milage, so to say, higher efficiency. In order to reduce weight these variator gadgets be used of light weight polymer material. Dear Ganguly's effort is commendable and should be further improved.
