My husband works for a company wich produces car components with a green label, that means, recycled products and so things. Electrical cars are going to be in our everyday lifes very soon, because they are quite developed. But it is not the same with electrical planes as they are still expensive and not available for normal people for their everyday trips. Maybe in some years things will change.Maria Isabel Bosokonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284323556376345700.post-41070278295312532722010-03-14T23:25:52.135+01:002010-03-14T23:25:52.135+01:00Well, thanks María and Gisele, if more of us were ...Well, thanks María and Gisele, if more of us were like you or thoguht like you, there would be a chance for us not to spoilt completely the planet...L.

But this is just the beginning...<br /><br />As I am quite on the same line as Maria's husband, I tend to believe that alternative energies are "the future". Well, they exist already and many of them aren't sufficiently exploited, according to me. Call it the lack of resources, the lack of knowledge, the lack of means, the lobby effect from certain multinationals and industries (i.e. petrol); this may be for another debate.<br /><br />But the fact is that we are abusing some of our natural resources without exploring others that are also at our "disposal", and that are - in principle - renewable... <br /><br />Some years ago I went to Iceland and there - for example and following the text of the Unit- part of the heating system uses the warm groundwater, houses do have "natural heating" and even some streets are heated through undergrounds systems (it may not be true, but this is what they explained me). I know that those are just examples and that Iceland in a particular case. But still, I guess that on a daily basis, we could little by little act for some changes. Electrical car is a way, as long as it allows a good use of it...Giselehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149116198479030040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284323556376345700.post-1566324582139092010-03-08T19:30:18.292+01:002010-03-08T19:30:18.292+01:00I do not know if I could fly in this kind of aircr...I do not know if I could fly in this kind of aircraft, I think so, but my husband, who a great defender of renewable energies, he belongs to "Los Verdes" , is seriously thinking about buying and electrical car in the near future and maybe that is the solution...maria santosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284323556376345700.post-35041195110547693782010-03-08T19:02:52.106+01:002010-03-08T19:02:52.106+01:00Thank you Lucía, I always keep my word and I am a ...Thank you Lucía, I always keep my word and I am a bit stubborn so no problem :-)<br />Cheers,Paloma Blanconoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284323556376345700.post-78990553491083032752010-03-08T12:50:01.666+01:002010-03-08T12:50:01.666+01:00Paloma,

I see this sort of planes very dangerous as you realise of the turbulences much more than if it were a bigger plane and they seem to be very more fragile than the planes we are used to use. In this case they remind me the electric cars case which are very slow and do not have enought autonomy so you can not go very far nor at very high speed. I think this plane can not fly very high so it would not be very useful for commercial flights. Surely they may pollute less but let´s imagine we had a normal flight with around 150 passengers and electric power we should need a very big battery and probably that would not be possible. And if the battery is rechargeable with the sun what would happen during the so long winter or in those countries where they hardly see the sun?Paloma Blanconoreply@blogger.com
