The Future is Here

I remember when I was a young boy (sometime last century) dreaming about the car I would have when I grew up.  I imagined a wonderful rocket-powered automobile with a bubble canopy (similar to that of a jet fighter) that was able to fly, hover and drive on the roads at super-sonic speeds.

What the heck happened?  Gas got more expensive, insurance prices rose, cars got smaller and I grew up.  Scientists and engineers experimented with fuel additives and alternatives to give us a little extra mileage.  Al Gore warned us about CO2 emissions and global climate change.  The Chinese traded bicycles for Volkswagens and Guy Negre invented an engine that runs on compressed-air.

Two thumbs up for Monsieur Negre and Moteur Developpement International (MDI) (which is headed by the MDI Holding Company, based in Luxembourg) for giving us an automobile that is capable of zero pollution.  Of course, not to alienate Big Oil, MDI has developed a bi-energy (compressed-air and fuel) vehicle with a driving range of approximately 2000kms.  (Keep your friends close but your enemies closer!)

Just a thought, how much is air going to cost us once this technology becomes popular?  Will countries with more air become rich?  Will we go to war to protect the supply of air from falling into the wrong hands?
