you did read the article right? this is a car powered by compressed air stored on the vehicle. perpetual motion has nothing whatsoever to do with this.

yes, but the ability to compress it still requires an energy source. which means coal is still being burned at the powerplants, nuclear waste is still being stockpiled and stored, the list goes on and on.

consumers love to forget where their super-clean energy comes from. electric cars are zero emissions? yeah right. where does that electricity come from? unless you live near a hydro-electric power source, you're still contributing to pollution.

energy does come from somewhere, and humans are still far too stupid to get it from the right places. Some day we will take politics out of science, but not in the forseeable future.

You haven't shown us your degree in physics. Law of conservation of energy does allow for perpetual motion.

kind of like a solar powered car that has a wheel driven generator on board to light up a light bulb mounted above the solar panel

Be a man. You're still wrong.
