response to Cliff Kuang and Naz Sahin's post Forget About 100-mpg Cars
Tata Motors (India) is developing the Air Car - a
hybrid compressed air / petrol car that is already
getting over 100 MPG.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7243247.stm
It is very odd, because mainstream US press has not written anything about it. Wired wrote a feature article about Tata last month, but made no mention of the Air Car.
Zero Pollution Motors is a New Paltz startup that is doing the same thing:

General Motors is also developing a compressed air / petrol car with the University of California.
It is amazing that lack of news coverage of this amazing development.

Greg Palast, journalist for the BBC,
has uncovered the State Dept plans for
the Iraqi oil fields. They were cowritten by major
oil company executives.
According to the documents, the plans for the oil fields are
not to control them to make oil CHEAP. They are to control them and turn off the flow. That would make the price of oil skyrocket, further increasing the record profits oil companies are experiencing due to the high price of oil.
His book, "Armed Madhouse" contain the documents.
This link, a speech Palast gives in NYC 2007 with RFK Jr., states the facts - 15 minutes in where he talks about the documents and speaking to the oil executive writers directly.
