1 Quis custodies ipsos custodes? (Who shall watch the watchers?) What sad looks like.

2 100% electric 0 to 60 in under 4 sec 135 mpg equivalent 220 miles per charge TESLA ROADSTER

3 Design Future

4 MDI Compressed Air Car

5 VW’S 1 LITER 235 MPG CONCEPT CAR. POWERED BY A 300 CC SINGLE CYLINDER DIESEL ENGINE WITH A CURB WEIGHT OF 639 LBS. IT CAN TRAVEL OVER 400 MILES ON ITS 1.7 GALLON FUEL TANK.

6 CHEVY EQUINOX HYDROGEN FUEL CELL VEHICLE 150 mile driving range with 3 on board hydrogen tanks (10,000 psi).

7 Mitsubishi Clean Diesel Concept Car 4 cylinder 2.2 liter diesel engine - 201 hp Uses a new catalytic converter system that combines diesel oxidation catalyst, NOx trap catalyst, and diesel particulate filter technologies.

8 Mercedes Smart ForTwo gets 80 mpg using a 700cc diesel. The car weighs 1800 lbs. and has a top speed of 85 mph.

9 A Toyota 4Runner has a curb weight of 4045 lbs. Assume a person weighing 150 lbs. That is a vehicle to cargo weight ration of 4045 / 150 = 27 So, to transport one individual, you are providing fuel to transport 27 times that weight. THAT’S WHERE MOST OF YOUR FUEL GOES!!

11 WAYS TO SAVE FUEL 1.SLOW DOWN 2.CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE 3.CHECK YOUR AIR FILTER 4.ACCELERATE WITH CARE 5.HANG WITH TRUCKS 6.GET BACK TO NATURE 7.BACK OFF THE BLING 8.CLEAN OUT YOUR CAR 9.DOWNSIZE 10.DON’T DRIVE http://cars.about.com/od/helpforcarbuyers/tp/ag_top_fuelsav e.htm

12 NOTE: THE ACTUAL SHAPE OF THIS CURVE WILL VARY DEPENDING ON THE DESIGN OF THE CAR AND CURB WEIGHT.

13 HOUSES SOME CONSIDERATIONS: 1.SMALL - TO KEEP MORTGAGE COSTS AND MAINTENANCE COSTS TO A MINIMUM 2.EXPANDABLE - HAVE A PLAN THAT IF CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRE, IT CAN BE ADDED ONTO 3.PLUMBING EFFICIENCY - IF POSSIBLE HAVE ALL THE PLUMBING OFF ONE WALL 4.PASSIVE SOLAR - LONGER DIMENSION FACING SOUTH TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WINTER SUN 5.SUPER INSULATED - TO REDUCE HEATING AND COOLING COSTS 6.APPLIANCES – ENERGY STAR FOR SAVINGS OF 10 TO 15% OF APPLIANCE ENERGY USAGE

14 STRAW BALE CONSTRUCTION

15 ICF WALL FORMS USING FLY ASH CONCRETE

16 EARTH SHELTERED HOME

17 SOLAR DECATHALON HOUSE - ITHACA, NY 800 SQFT - 1 BEDROOM & 1 BATH PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS & SOLAR HOT WATER

18 ON DEMAND HOT WATER HEATERS - WATER IS ONLY HEATED AS YOU NEED IT. COMPOSTING TOILET - USES NO WATER AND CONVERTS WASTE TO SAFE FERTILIZER

19 PART OF A GREYWATER RECYCLING SYSTEM - WATER FROM BATHS, SHOWERS, WASHING MACHINES, ETC. SIMILAR COLLECTION SYSTEM COULD BE USED FOR ROOF-TOP COLLECTION (CISTERN).
