I’ve recently stumbled across two innovations in the transportation sector that made me smile and think, if only for a moment, that we may not go extinct in the next hundred years.  The first was this hydrogen fuel cell motorcycle, dubbed the ENV, from hydrogen fuel cell company Intelligent Energy
The second sign of hope was this collaborative project from Lotus and ZAP, the ZAP-X.  This electric crossover will apparently sport a 350 mile range, a top-speed of 155 mph and 644 bhp.  More than that, unlike most electric car concepts it looks like this one may actually go into production.
