In Racing Toward Zero, the authors explore the issues inherent in
developing sustainable transportation. They review the types of
propulsion systems and vehicle options, discuss low-carbon fuels
and alternative energy sources, and examine the role of regulation
in curbing emissions. All technologies have an impact on the
environment, from internal combustion engine vehicles to battery
electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, and hybrids-there
is no silver bullet. The battery electric vehicle may seem the
obvious path to a sustainable, carbon-free transportation future,
but it's not the only, nor necessarily the best, path forward. The
vast majority of vehicles today use the internal combustion engine
(ICE), and this is unlikely to change anytime soon. Improving the
ICE and its fuels-entering a new ICE age-must be a main route on
the road to zero emissions. How do we go green? The future requires
a balanced approach to transportation. It's not a matter of
choosing between combustion or electrification; it's combustion and
electrification. As the authors say, "The future is eclectic." By
harnessing the best qualities of both technologies, we will be in
the best position to address our transportation future as quickly
as possible.
