// One of the greatest problems facing the world today are the emissions from vehicles. With the average passenger car on the road today getting 22 miles to a gallon of gasoline, a gallon of gasoline putting out 19.4 pounds of carbon emissions, and 260 million vehicles in the united states alone means that every day (assuming every car uses roughly a tank of gasoline a day) 101 million pounds of Carbon is emitted every day. This fact is a devastating truth for both the environment and the economy as sooner, rather then later, the gas is going to run out.

Proactive measures need to be taken now to insure that the lights stay on and the wheels keep spinning for years to come after the last gas station shuts its doors for good. Two very promising areas of study are the use of fuel cells and the synthesis of biofuels from algae. Both technologies have been proven to work, but the process of converting them for use in the consumer vehicle is where the problem truly lies.
