In an age when the supply of gasoline to feed this modern American
society has become both more expensive and more scarce questions
are being pondered. Inquires like, 'How can a modern society scale
back its dependence on gasoline as a motive source?' 'Are there
genuine alternative power sources?' 'Are they the answer to a
growing crisis?' Recent announcements of hybrids like those from
Honda, Toyota, and Ford have really brought attention to this
issue. Hybrids that use both gasoline engines and electric motors.
Really, though, alternative power sources have been around for as
long as the automobile has been. The battle between and among the
steam car, the electric and the gas car was fought out in the first
couple of decades of the twentieth century. This book explores the
ins and outs of that battle. A struggle from which the gasoline car
emerged completely victorious. To such an extent that steam cars
and electric cars virtually disappeared from the scene for many
decades. We will look over all three alternatives, exploring their
advantages and disadvantages. We will also look over the obstacles
to the steamers and the electrics. Barriers that still exist to a
certain extent. Handicaps that caused their disappearance in the
first place.
