Perhaps the great challenge facing technology is to clean up the messes that technology has made. The first company to design a car that doesn't foul the atmosphere will race past its competitors. For many years, our efforts have focused on the electric cars. But effort will encounter a fatal flaw: no powerful battery can be designed small enough to be installed in a car. There is even some doubt that this design is possible. That is why engineers have shift their attention to another promising design: Hydro fuel cars.
