Transportation (draft)
Cars,
trucks and public busses, trains, ships, and aircraft would use clean energy efficient
sources of energy, which temporary could include natural gas
 |
Electric
Vehicle would be used. Tesla
Motors
manufactures Model S electric vehicles. The
electric vehicle is a five-passenger sedan with a lithium-ion
battery pack, gets 300 miles between charges, and is one of the most
aerodynamic sedans ever built. General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, and
other automakers would making energy efficient electric vehicles, SUVs
and trucks. Electric vehicles are 95% efficient compared to 20% for gas burning cars.
For countries with natural sources of natural gas, natural gas
could be used for cars and trucks. According to
Natural
Gals Vehicles of America,
15 million cars and trucks in the World could be powered by natural gas.
Public and private transportation would use clean, efficient energy
busses, trains and privates vehicles. Trains like
Shinkansen
Japanese Bullet Train
would be high speed, energy efficient and travels at 320 kilometers
per hour. Transportation systems would enable both pubic and
private vehicles to travel without wasting billion of hours waiting
in traffic jams.

| Ships would use clean efficient
energy. United States and other country have been using clean energy in their ships for over fifty years. The fifteen
largest cargo ships produce 2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide
emissions, which is the same quantity produced by 250 million vehicles in the
United States.
|
| Airplanes
would travel on milligrams of mirror fuel rather than thousands of
tons of jet fuel. On long distance flight, fuel would be measured in
milligrams rather than half the mass of aircraft flight. |
The Space Economy would provide unlimited
opportunities for humanity. Millions of people would
be traveling in spacecraft to space stations orbiting Earth
in
minutes and communities on Moon
in
hours and
Mars
in days. Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek Dream of traveling to the stars will become
reality in the 21st century.
