Paint Your Money Green
The Tokyo Auto Salon is underway, exhibiting the newest mods and tune-ups for Japanese cars. Although car sales are slumping worldwide, aftermarket parts and accessory sales have not been hit as hard according to Tokyo Auto Salon President Fumiaki Enomoto. [Fumiaki Enomoto, President, Tokyo Auto Salon]: The number of cars at our event is up 12%. The reason is because of the recession. People cant buy new cars and young people especially get bored of their cars. So people change the interior and exterior of their car to get a fresh new feeling. This is the direction we see. To hype up their latest concept sports car, the FT-86, Toyota teamed up with GAZOO Racing to make this turbo-charged compact beast: the FT-86 G Sports Concept. [Yuichi Tsurumoto, Manager, Toyota Sports Vehicle]: Because of the aftermarket turbo, you have a more powerful ride. On the racing track, for example, you can enjoy a type of slide-control called drifting. We made a more high-powered experience with this car. Expect to see the FT-86 go on sale in late 2011 in time for the 25th anniversary of the Corolla AE86, the car the FT-86 is modeled after. Here is GAZOO Racings Toyota Prius tuned for greener performance. Its sure to make your neighborhood eco-drivers envious. [Kenichi Sato, Assistant Manager, Design Group Toyota]: If you look at it from the front, it has a big-mouth bumper. There are several other places that we modified as well. The hood is carbon fiber, so are the roof and backdoors. Weve …

Paint Your Money Green
It has never been so good to be green before. With a sharp rise in global warming, governments are being forced to minimize their carbon footprints. Meanwhile, Uncle Sam is opening his box of incentives, with plans on making it irresistible for people to go green! The U.S government is planning to reward people with tax incentives and credits in return for their efforts to go green.
According to reports, climate changes and global warming have the potential to reduce gross domestic product and consumption of nations in the long run, unless immediately tackled. Realizing these potential impacts on the economy, the Congress has decided to offer incentives for people to convert to a greener environment. In fact with a wide variety of choices available at your disposal, you can choose the one that suits you the most and save green money.
For the home person, who likes to decorate his dwelling, the government is offering to provide incentives for a greener home, and guess what? For every new window, door, furnace, air-conditioning and attic insulation improvements, you are entitled to get a 30% credit for the first 00 spent, provided the improvements lead to an overall energy efficiency for the house. This whopping saving of 00 can be claimed over the period of next two years. So is you are planning to have your houses refurbished, it’s a good idea to go green.
Solar Energy has been harnessed by people since ancient times, and with advances in Solar Technology, it is now possible to make massive energy and money savings, by using solar powered devices in your homes. Using a solar powered water heater qualifies you for a 30% federal credit, and with these systems costing up to 00 – 000, it’s a good investment to make. You can also make a massive tax saving of up to ,000 pounds investing in a solar powered energy system to generate electricity in your home, thanks again to a federal credit of 30% on these devices.
Cars have been blamed for increasing the CO2 emission and contributing to the overall phenomenon of greenhouse effect because of their emissions. However, with the advent of the hybrid car, which can run on alternate energy sources such as Hydrogen, rechargeable energy sources or compressed air among others, CO2 emissions can be drastically reduced. A federal credit of up to 00 is available depending on the make and model of your car. However, this credit is not valid for
Hondas and Toyotas, but can be claimed for a Mercury Mariner, Mazda Tribute or a two-wheel Ford Escape.
That is not all. You can avail a 10% credit for converting your existing car into a plug-in electric, or wait for the Chevy Volt plug-in that qualifies for a credit of 00 on a projected sales price of ,000. Or, if you are one of the highly creative ones, you can invest in a residential windmill. With a 30% credit available on the total cost of the windmill, you can convert your garden into a powerhouse, but do watch out for local zoning laws that might restrict you from putting a wind tower. For states and localities, the new law also gives .3 billion to spend on energy efficiency and renewable energy programs.
So, whether you are planning to get a new water heater, or buying a new car, Uncle Sam has something for everyone in his new green plan. Make sure you pick the one that suits you well. Green is in, and with a lot of incentives available for going green, it is time to paint your money green.
So, have you painted your money green as yet?

Crash Course: Chapter 5 – Growth vs. Prosperity & Chapter 6 – What is Money? by Chris Martenson
Chapter 5 (Growth Vs. Prosperity): Contrary to what we’ve grown used to, growth is not the same thing as prosperity. In fact, growth and prosperity are both dependent on the same thing: surplus. Dr. Martenson explains how we’ve been conditioned to want, and to take, both growth and prosperity; however, we are approaching the limits of our physical, finite, earth – the amount of surplus is steadily declining. Chapter 6 (What is Money?): What is a dollar? Sure, it allows us to buy things like food, cars, and iPods; yet, most of us don’t really understand money beyond that. Dr. Martenson not only provides an understandable definition, but also explains what gives our green pieces of paper value, and what dangers any currency must face. www.chrismartenson.com

yahoo green rating for biodiesels seems completely wrong?
Question by wndsurfrr: yahoo green rating for biodiesels seems completely wrong?
Why doesn’t Yahoo’s (supposed) “green rating” rate cars that are listed (by them) as Diesel/Biodiesel only base the ratings on Diesel and not also show Biodiesel numbers? I’d like to see what my TDI Jetta would rank if I run B99 or even B50. The guide seems VERY biased toward Hybrids, I’d like to get accurate information on how “green” my car would be if I run Biodiesel. Why have a “rating system” if it’s not going to be accurate?
Best answer:
Answer by bfriedemanns
Biodiesel is not everywhere because it is a new fuel so why rate it. Gasohol reaches much farther because it has been out for years. Just know from common sense that it hopefully must be better.

The Future – Electric Cars
The green brigade has precisely touched most of the industries; Automobile can be left as the fuel consumption is the highest in this sector. Efforts have been made in the past to promote electric cars but the end result has not been impressive to many. Electronic cars launched previously had few draw backs like their top speed not exceeding 20 miles per hour, long recharge hours, expensive and two seating capacity. Though they make no noise and are pollution free vehicles it didn’t made any difference.
A lot of time and money has been put in developing these electric cars and make them more lucrative to the buyer.
UK is coming up with a Electric car which will be a four seater, can run up to 70 miles without bothering to be recharged. It’s a Citroen C1 based car, which is joint venture by Peugeot, Toyota and Citroen. It shall take only six to seven hours to charge and can be charged in a 13a normal socket. Subsidies are also being discussed with British government to encourage people to go in for a Citroen C1. By 2011 Citroen C1will hit the market.
Up till now the designs of any of the previous launched electric cars have not tempted most of them to buy one. They are expensive no fancy features or designs and they could not accommodate large families either. Hope fully the scenario will change in the near future.
Another such product, which is with an electric motor running on three wheels, is an Aptera. It’s quite pleasing to eyes and pollution free.
Aptera 2e is originally manufactured in California, USA. Mostly to be launched by the end of 2009. Aptera 2e can run 100 miles without bothering to be recharged. This is a two seater car with comfortable space for luggage. A Navigation system, an air conditioner, Side and front airbags, Power locks and electric windows are few features of the Aptera2. You can go 0 to 60 in less than 10 seconds which is commendable for an electric car. Such features are not present in any of its present counterparts. You can plug it in to any normal outlet of about 110v which will be cost you about 50c. A test drive of the Aptera 2e shall be an experience you had been waiting for.
Aptera 2e will be launched in California initially then Florida followed by Texas. Only by 2010 or2011 it will be available in other parts of the US. With all the state of art facilities, saving a lot of your hard earned money on fuel and being an eco friendly vehicle it will surely be a treat to drive.
Our future lies in these cars. They only do well to the environment and also to your pockets. You might feel it on an expensive side initially but the amount of money you shall be saving on fuel in the long run is remarkable.
