GREENER VEHICLES PREDICTED
 
L’EXAMINATEUR HERAUT
 
Ministry of Scientific Research and Technological Advancement, March 27, 5732: L’Examinateur Heraut asked Louis LeFebvre, Minister of Scientific Research and Technological Advancement, if the Ministry had any projects in mind, and Lefebvre replied:
 

Well, cleaner energy is probably  where we will expend the most effort for awhile.  And in that regard nuclear power always comes to the fore.  What another Canraillaise nation did was start with a university project which was successful on a very small scale  and build on that so that now electricity for two provinces are largely generated by nuclear power plants.
 
If a suitable applicant for such an effort appears or is located, certainly believe we can find the funds to support it.
 
Then there are bio fuels for vehicles.  We think two areas where we could promote development of them is in public transportation and agricultural equipment.  We will be talking to farm machinery producers, agriculture departments of colleges and bus builders and bus lines.
 
And of course electric vehicles.  Unless we want to start with agriculture, we will need to find an auto or truck maker who is interested.  We would need a lot of recharging stations to make it work. The idea  is popular but the practical means is what we must develop.
 
There are certainly others where we have been involved with other nations, and we need to see what should be revisited and revived.
