Are gas cars and gas-based businesses are killing the planet? If so, should we switch over to an alternate energy source like wind or solar power?

I feel this is a very weighted issue. Yes, we should find alternatives and then try to come with an answer to what we have already created, all those cars that run on gasoline! Our landfills and dump sites are loading up fast and we need to find something to do with the junk cars. The big auto producers are dependant on the gasoline market to keep them rolling and we need to change that.

I don't think we need to junk the cars, necessarily. Perhaps we could scrap the unnecessary parts and revamp the vehicles into non-polluting models. This seems costly, but a good alternative solution to tossing them aside.

Referring to produced carbondioxide-greenhouse-gas per energy unit the gas cars are a step in the right direction. But the solution are hydrogen based cars and a hydrogen based economy: If only water vapor comes out of engines instead of carbondioxide we will get rid of the major climate problems.

I would not say they are killing the planet, but it is time we make judicious use of the available resources. Alternative energies have to be made viable.

Yes.I feel that we should switch over to solar power because we won't have to pay for petrol for cars anymore.But it is not a full alternative though.It is too expensive.Solar cells are too expensive.
