Chinese Showcase Fuel-Saving Cars
Advertisements [?]
ANTING, China - The Habo No. 1 looks like any one of the legions of Volkswagen sedans in China. But a peek under the hood reveals an array of chrome canisters instead of the usual engine ¡X the Habo is fueled not by gas but hydrogen peroxide.

"This car only emits water vapor and oxygen," said He Limei, project director for Shanghai Habo Chemical Technology Co., showing the Habo at an exhibition of ecologically friendly cars outside Shanghai.


"It uses rocket technology."


The Habo was one of 150 experimental and advanced-technology vehicles on display at the Challenge Bibendum, an expo named for sponsor Michelin's puffy mascot. The event, held at a new Formula One track outside Shanghai, reflects China's growing awareness of the dark side of its love affair with the car ¡X dependence on imported oil, traffic-choked roads, cities awash in smog.

As aWol would want us to forget, the Space Shuttle hasn't flown in some 3 years and no definite date in the future. The Hubble's mirror was manufactured wrong and never tested on Earth and the program 'corrected' the mirror defect? I wonder if it really did? A Mars lander crashed because Lockheed did the calculations in the Standard system wrong when they were supposed to use the Metric. (Miles and Kilometers). America was supposed to convert to the best, easiest system in the world, the Metric, back in 1970. The program was initiated throughout America but the people were unable to learn it and it was abandoned. I think this was the turning point in America which foretold the coming of the Satan Bush Family!

Chinese is going to kick America's ass within ten years. aWol and the murdering christian republicans have done a great job preparing America!
