One of the problems faced by the alternative energy
industry today is that each new technology, whether from biofuels,
solar, wind or hydrogen, is being taken as a whole. As such, a failure of one
is deemed as a failure of the entire alternative energy industry.
For instance, the recent test regarding the Chevy Volt
catching fire is being viewed as a sign that alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs), whether or not they are electric vehicles, are unsafe.
