Hybrid technology has made it possible for cars to emit less and get significantly better gas mileage -- all without hindering performance. Hooray! But while the environmental gains from the new alternative energy vehicles are significant, these cars and trucks are still using up the planet's resources -- just more slowly. Even electric cars still run on juice that most likely came from a coal power plant.
So unless you're walking or riding your bike, your mode of transportation is bound to impact the planet at least somewhat -- unless you drive this. The MiniCat, developed by Motor Development International, probably won't travel at light-speed (or even 50 mph), but it will be able to run on nothing more than compressed air.
Plus, the car is only about 8 feet long, so parallel parking won't be such a nightmare!
