California ARB approves $700,000 in grants for green tech demos
The California Air Resources Board this week approved $700,000 in grants for demonstration projects to evaluate clean air technology. Advanced Transit Dynamics, Eaton and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District will each receive over $200,000 for projects. Eaton will build a package delivery van using a hydraulic series hybrid system it has developed. Similar systems have also been developed and tested by several other companies. UPS has been running several series hybrid vans for more than two years. Advanced Transit Dynamics will show an active aerodynamic system installed on a class 8 tractor trailer designed to minimize drag. The Sacramento project will use digester gases to consume some of the emissions from a stationary engine fueled by biogas.
Companies getting the grants must provide matching funds for at least half the cost of the project with at least 10 percent coming from the grant recipient.

I think we need to stop focusing on all types of gases used to power cars, and other gas powered engines. This is only a short term fix, I have an idea that is going to help for future cutting out all emisions and help to restore natural power used by natural energy the sun when operating machine drive vehichels.
