A group is trying to combine their faith with its desire to live a life that will allow everyone to enjoy the Earth before they have to head off to Heaven.
FUSE… Faiths United for Sustainable Energy… is a collection of scientists, religious leaders, government officials, and more which wants to become a catalyst to rid our society of its dependence on fossil fuels:
FUSE’s mission is to educate and mobilize faith communities to act on the increasingly harmful effects of our country’s dependence on fossil fuels.
FUSE works with all faiths to develop educational and action-oriented programming that addresses the social, political, economic and environmental issues that we are all connected to through the need to fuel our everyday lives.
Fuel consumption is at the core of the most pressing issues that confront people and governments all over the world – global security, human rights, the environment, health, and the economy.
We believe that these humanitarian and environmental effects on society and the Earth are moral issues that must be immediately addressed by faith communities. Through education, organization, and action, faith communities can make their voices heard, leading the movement toward a clean and sustainable future throughout the world.
Faith communities have a unique opportunity to take the lead in promoting sustainable, clean, socially responsible, and economically viable solutions because of our religious commitments to compassion, peace, and justice.

A French carmaker is introducing a truly unique vehicle to the North American market… one that runs on air!
Developed by Formula One race car engineer Guy Negre, the Air Car is equipped with a revolutionary dual-energy compressed air engine, achieving a fuel efficiency of 106 miles to the gallon. At low speeds, this vehicle emits only air from its tailpipe making it a good option for ‘green’ inter-city traveling. The Air Car is built with Compressed Air Technology (C.a.t.) and is designed to be relatively affordable, as it is estimated to cost approximately $18,000 and to consume only small quantities of fuel.

According to their calculations, Hickman says the United States could produce a 15.6 billion bushel corn crop seven years from now. “If we grow as much corn as we did in 2007 and the yield increases go from where they have in the last ten years, that would be possible in 2015,” he said. “That could then produce 19 billion gallons of ethanol and still provide exports and other uses for corn.”
Richard K. Wilson, Ph.D., director of Washington University’s Genome Sequencing Center, says this is the first comprehensive glimpse at the blueprint for the corn plant. “Scientists now will be able to accurately and efficiently probe the corn genome to find ways to improve breeding and subsequently increase crop yields and resistance to drought and disease,” he said.
