Cars kill not only animals. I heard somewhere that about 50000 Americans killed in car related accidents every year.

In 9/11 about 3000 people were killed.

But this is only the tip of an iceberg. The main killer is the exhaust, not the car itself. How many this baby kills we will know much later, as the damage is accumulative this time.

I saw on TV yesterday that French start selling a new type of car. It runs on the compressed air. It covers 300 km without recharge.

What is remarkable is that the compressed air can be produced directly at powerplants, without converting energy into electricity.
