The car industry at present not only has to cope with a financial crisis but it is being forced to redesign cars to cope with satisfying the environment lobby in their quest to reduce carbon gas emissions to help prevent global warming.

The world credit crunch and banking crisis is not confined to the financial sector alone, industry in general is hurting and none more so than the car/motor industry.

A Japanese company claimed in June this year to have constructed the only car that could run on water alone and therefore having a completely environmentally friendly car emitting nil carbon gas emissions and not affecting global warming.

The company who have built the vehicle claim that it will run for 80km, approx.50 miles, on one litre of water but its only public appearance to date was very amateurishly videoed and can be viewed on Youtube.

In today’s world of motor Grand Prix the mix of modern racing cars, cutting edge technology, carbon gas exhaust emissions, a bad economic climate and the environment lobby never letting up, who is there at the helm to manage all this potential mayhem?

Allow me to introduce to you Bernie Ecclestone, born near Bungay, Suffolk, UK in October 1930. In the late 1940′s his first business venture was setting up the Compton & Ecclestone motor cycle dealership.

On the surface there appear to be many eco-benefits in replacing oil with a biofuel with the properties of being environmental friendly and having low carbon gas emissions similar to ethanol.

For a start the crops from which ethanol is derived are commonly grown agricultural products such as corn, rapeseed and sugarcane; they can justly be called renewable as new crops are planted and harvested annually.

The claim is that ethanol does not contribute to global warming since it will only emit back into the environment the carbon dioxide that the original source plant initially absorbed out of the atmosphere.

The search to get an acceptable all round economical biofuel to power cars and be non harming to the environment and the global warming situation has recently brought to public attention another devastating revelation.

A lot has been said and written about the pro’s of having a part biofuel powered car, that it is less polluting than a pure petrol or diesel engined vehicle and also the need to have an alternative fuel developed to replace our reliance on oil, now even more so since the world economic crisis resulted, for a while, in record prices for barrels of crude.
