My first car – it was a Nissan and I have to say that I absolutely love the brand.  While VW is my favorite brand, I have actually owned and driven a Nissan around and it was by far the best car that I have ever had – it lasted so long!  Now, Nissan is still kicking and coming out with not only some of the coolest looking cars but also coming out with a car that is completely electric!  The 2010 Nissan Leaf EV is the next generation that Nissan is going and it looks hot.

Besides its hot exterior, the 2010 Nissan Leaf EV is actually one car that is completely eco-friendly and actually runs completely off of electricity.  While right now, the 2010 Nissan Leaf EV is not out – it will be, they are actually going to release 1,000 different 2010 Nissan Leaf EV to different markets and see how to sales go.  If they go well, it will be released to the rest of the world.

The 2010 Nissan Leaf EV in my opinion is going to change the world and truly make Nissan one of the top car brands again – which is something that I’ve been waiting for!

In the US, two factors pivot researches for alternative car fuel blends this year: the fast decline the world’s Petroleum content and the deterioration of air quality in all of US airport vicinities.

NASA (National Aeronautic Space Administration) worked with 11 research groups to test two synthetic fuels derived from natural gas and gasified coal. These gases were extracted using the Fischer Tropsch process. The research groups involved in this project included the US Department of Defense, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Environmental Protection Agency.

These tests are being conducted at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center in California. The main point of the research is to test the emission levels and performance of both alternative fuels.

It has previously been studied that synthetic fuels emit fewer harmful particles compared to standard jet fuel. This research, aside from looking into alternative jet fuels once Petroleum runs out, also considers environmental factors.
