  • The Evolution: Electric Vehicles and the End of Oil Addiction

    Creator:
    Donahue, Cory
    Abstract:
    The world is currently using an unsustainable system of meeting its transportation needs with oil. This system is taking a toll on the world environment and on global politics. The physical availability of oil is the system’s most immediate problem and will most likely bring about a transition away from...
