  • A board certified cardiologist has provided assurances that a person with a pacemaker can safely drive a hybrid.  
  • You should avoid coming within inches of the engine to avoid harmful complications
  •  Another concern of the hybrid car is the stealth nature and danger it may pose to the seeing impaired.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Electric cars are not new; they have been around since the 1800’s and were among the first vehicles ever built.
  • Studies suggest that the risk is real; just as real as the other EMF given off from other electrical devices we use every day including computers and cell phones.
  • One concern that has not been fully resolved is the electromagnetic field created and the possibility of certain cancers due to them.
  •  One such fear is the harm to people with pacemakers.

  • "Of the energy you're putting into an electric car when you plug it in, you probably get 80% to 90% translated into useful power at the wheels," say Professor Roger Kemp, author of a Royal Academy of Engineering (RAE) report on electric cars. "And that's really very good, because in a conventional car it's more like 20% to 30%, with the rest coming out as heat through the radiator and the exhaust pipe."

    I only briefly scanned over this book. It seems this might touch on how the government is focusing on new ways of energy consumption.
