Your Guide to the Year in Science: 2010 (Part 1)

In this article about technology, we learn about a few different energy efficient cars that are going to be released in 2010. They are the Volt by GM, the Nissan Leaf, and the Fisker Karma. There are already a ton of people who have signed up online to purchase these cars when they come out. Their price ranges go from $30,000 to $90,000, but these companies are desperately hoping that the use of electricity over gasoline will be appealing enough to customers to outweigh some of the cars' expensive pricing.

I think it is important that we care about this new invention of electric powered cars being put to use because these new types of cars could really be beneficial to our world. If everyone used the Nissan Leaf, for example, there would be no more air pollution from cars, and we wouldn't have to use gas to fill our cars up. Depending on the cost of battery charging, it also has the potential of being a huge money saver for people who normally spend a lot of money filling up their gas tanks.

In 2010 is when these cars are going to be released and the world will be forever changed!

One of the main setbacks for this new invention would be the price of the car. To a lot of people, the cost of these cars are ridiculous! This could be a major hurdle for the car companies to overcome. We'll see what happens...!
