The Automobile and the Environment: -Myth- Technology has reached its limit in reducing the negative environmental impact of the automobile.
This paper will argue that there is still plenty of scope for technology to reduce the negative environmental impact of the automobile. While it is true that modern automotive technology is obviously advanced, the potential of the hydrogen and/or solar battery powered vehicle to reduce emissions has not even been touched upon. Moreover, the use of recycled or other environmentally friendly materials in the production of automobiles has plenty of room for further expansion. Perhaps most importantly, though, if we look at the concept of technology in a broad sense we can see that it is creating a world where having a car is less necessary. 15.5 pgs. 19 f/c. 6b.
