This poses a huge challenge given the limited supplies of oil and the growing 2 of the global warming crisis. But there is good news, according to our guests today. And that is we have the know-how and the technology to build 3, fast automobiles that don't use gasoline. These vehicles of tomorrow are powered by 4, electricity, bio-fuels, and digital technology. And they already exist. So what's stopping us from putting them on the roads? Our guests today will help answer that.
