No one can say no to pizza, so it's too bad that it takes so much fossil fuel to get it delivered to my front door. That's why a Las Vegas Domino's pizza joint has started using ZAP (Zero Air Pollution) Xebras to deliver pizzas to their customers. The cars, provided by the Electric Vehicle Company (EVC), will allow Domino's to save money on gas and also do good for the environment. Currently being run as a feasibility test, Domino's hopes to find ways to be a "responsible consumer of our planet's natural resources" In any case, it seems like a great marketing tool. That little bugger stands out way more than a cheap sign mounted on top of a random car. Hopefully this program expands to more locations. I'd buy a pizza just to see one. Via AutoGreenBlog

This car looks a lot like an Isetta, my favorite car. While not really a 3 wheeler, it comes really close. Reminds me of Bucky Fuller's Dymaxion car too.
Cheers

This device runs entirely on electricity - which comes from burning fossil fuels.
It is in no way generates less emissions than gas powered cars, horsepower for horsepower. Being that it is technically running on coal, it is even less eco friendly. It also tops out at 40mph (65kph), and can travel a mere 25 miles.

Science, technology gadgets and...baby seals. We're in a bit of an eco-mess, but we've got the brains to lick any problem. And that's why EcoGeek.org publishes up to ten stories daily about innovations that are saving the planet.
And if that sounds interesting to you, then congratulations, you're an EcoGeek.

In any case, wouldn't motorcycles be more practical? They can zip through gridlocked traffic and return excellent mileage too.
