The transportation world needs your help in developing alternative means of energy for
the use in automobiles of the future. Gasoline is getting expensive and is a nonrenewable resource. Engineers are currently developing other types of energy sources
that include renewable resources. Wind power is one example of a renewable
resource, but can it be used to power our cars?
