But these cars are keeping my hopes up! Introducing:

I think it's about time these cars start coming out! Yes, I know they are expensive (they may be cheaper if their design was toned down a little). But honestly, if everyone starts demanding green cars, prices are bound to come down.
These are only just a few. There are a lot more out there. My favorite personal choice is hydrogen fuel-cell cars, after a huge discussion with my brother, Dustin. I was all for electric cars (mainly because I watched the movie), until he told me that fuel-cell, though a little more complicated and expensive to make than battery, used less energy resources. For electric cars, they still need a power-based source, since they run on battery. But they're still cleaner than gas, so that puts them in my No. 2 favorite list.
Gas prices may be at an all-time low right now, but I wouldn't be too pleased. Everyone knows that the reason the prices dipped is because of an economic downturn. But the world also knows that economies that go down are bound to come up again. And when that happens, gas prices will go up as well...up to the universe. I'm pretty sure of that. Don't forget developing countries are catching up where automotive drivers are concerned. Chinese riding bicycles in Beijing is a rare sight right now, because the convenience of cars is overpowering the idea of motorists.
North America will have to show the world the potential of green automotives, especially when we have the technology to do so. Our people need to prove it by letting those car companies know what we need. Drive clean and drive green. It's about time.
P.S. One extra information I thought would be interesting to add:
The Chinese electric car! 30 of them are bound to go on sale in Canada, very possibly by next year. If that happens, they would be the first Chinese-made car to be sold in North America. For more information, click here.
