I think we are seeing a gradual turning away from gas-powered cars, but it may take years before we end our addiction to “Big Oil”. I have seen enough hybrid and electric cars to prove that one.

A group of students in the Netherlands have come up with another Eco-efficient solution, solar power. This isn’t just some solar-powered vehicle made for one person, but this is actually a family vehicle with four-seats.

I don’t really know how long it takes to charge this car, but I am told it has a range of 372 miles. Not bad. I think I have to make at least one stop at the pump with a range like that on my mini-van.

These students from the Netherlands want to put their solar vehicle, which they call Stella (insert obvious A Streetcar Named Desire joke here) street legal. I hope to see more eco-friendly cars like these.
