Liked the way Green GT is working for the future electric cars, but are they more environment friendly? With the depletion in non renewable resources in next coming 15-20 years, can we have this as an option to run on renewable energy... Also, how safe are these to drive on roads in US. Does this involve any safety driving rules for the drivers and help them drive defensively. fesco duplicate bill
