The Automobile Question

General Motors USA promotes, Bio-Fuels, Hybrid, Electric, and Fuel Cell vehicles as do many other car manufactures. Some of the designs for the future are exquisite, yet on close study the costs for ordinary people is prohibitive.

Henry Ford built a vehicle cost effective for all people, a technology then for the betterment of mankind. One constraint being that one could have any colour as long as it was black.

Enzo Ferrari developed vehicles of exquisite design, power and strength.

The two automobile pioneers mentioned broke through the challenges of technology to bring mankind to the next question on the horizon of discovery in technology of the Bio-Fuels, Electric, Hybrid, and Fuel Cell none are sustainable and all have limitations, therefore mankind stands today in the shoes of Henry Ford and Enzo Ferrari pondering a vehicle that is sustainable, without limitations for travel distance and does not impact on man, or the food baskets of the world, or the impact of huge infra-structure change, or re- tooling entirely.

The answer is quite simple: Henry Ford who inspired his team to build what could not be seen or exist to a reality. So it can be today a combination of academic intelligence and tactile intelligence coming together as the power of one, lead by one with the answer and vision.
