At the moment, the most viable mode of sustainable transportation is an electric vehicle (EV). However, some automakers are exploring different forms of green energy—specifically, wind. Are wind-powered cars a possibility, or are they something that’s likely to stay in the realm of science fiction? The Potential of Wind Power.

Ice, snow, and strong winds make traveling by car hazardous. Weather wreaks havoc on transportation systems. Commercial aircraft can’t take off and land during stormy weather. Cars and trucks can’t drive on flooded roads. Unfortunately, a warming planet means there will be more weather-related disruptions in the future.
