Another way to store power besides batteries? There hazardous to the enviroment...? This is for green thinking people. I dont think there is a solution, but id give it a shot. With all the talk of electric vehicles, im wondering if there is another alternative than batteries? They are quite hazardous to the enviroment. If all cars converted from oil to electric, the next problem would be properly disposing of all these batteries.

FWIW- I am totally for electric. I would just like to see if the the problem of hazardous disposal of batteries can be solved or minimized. I wish we could destroy all the coal power plants, and force them to go wind power, or at least solar. I am a car enthusiast, and would give up my passion in a second if there was a good alternative. 0% 0 Votes

Capacitors.

A company called Eestor is developing a supercapacitor that is expected (hopefully) to deliver much greater energy density than the chemical batteries we currently use, and can be charged in much less time. They have even got the attention of Lockheed Martin, a government contractor.

They might be worth watching. 20% 1 Vote

Fuel cells,but have to keep using them,as reactive energy most be used. Ford had idea but if you went on vacation not using car would overheat resulting in fire. 1994-96 I think. 0% 0 Votes
