Here is the...This is to add to your reading offers! <BR/><BR/>Here is the clue to getting rid of oil-wasting lifestyles. The idea could supplement cars, replace them, or be<BR/>another kind of railroad (but MUCH better). This is the fictionalized version.<BR/> Amcars use renewable energy, travel anywhere, and can be faster than plane travel. Try the idea at : eloquentbooks.com/ThePowerPlayToEndTheCar.html<BR/> <BR/> * The ideas in the story are factual, with a prologue explaining them, and a bibliography covering some of the work done in the field. It offers a major solution to the most polluting problem in the world – the traffic system.<BR/><BR/> * As a long-time activist with an MS degree in Environmental Engineering, the author worked in the Aircraft Industry, the EPA, as an Engineering magazine editor and as a Consultant. Had short stories and articles published in local publications, and has spent years noting the problems associated with cars, greenhouse effects and pollution world-wide. The manuscript published as The Power Play to end the car offers a mostly fictional, yet practical, solution to the most notable of those problems.<BR/><BR/>* Set on a Moslem island, this poignant 70,000 word manuscript depicts the tumultuous experiences of a male protagonist whose ultimate mission is eliminate a country’s need for cars. <BR/> <BR/>* The story commences as readers are introduced to Gretton, the story’s protagonist and narrator, who tells his life story with outlandish situations and humor. His dream, to build a system consisting of a country that doesn’t need cars, comes to fruition with the help of an important character he meets in college. This, however, leads to trouble with the Establishment, to invasion, and to his ouster and imprisonment. <BR/><BR/>* As Gretton’s health ultimately fades, a dissertation on ocean pollution takes his adopted daughter and wife back to the Americas while his son John in Canada re-starts Amcars, thus taking up the vision of transportation.<BR/>Enjoy --<BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>B.B.
