sustainable style foundation*

As we sit smack dab in the middle of the festivities at the North American International Auto Show, a few sustainable autos have been making big waves, and none more than the Chevy Volt electric car, which looks like it could be pretty great. In the midst of all this, the folks over at AutoblogGreen have taken the time to pause and look at another concept that could also change the way we get around: the Hypercar, conceptualized by L. Hunter Lovins and Amory B. Lovins at the Rocky Mountain Institute. It's been something of a sustainable wet dream ever since it was introduced in 1991, including radical ideas (at the time) of ultra-light weight and super fuel-efficiency that would change automobile transportation forever; with electric cars like the Tesla roadster arriving later this year, the Hypercar seems closer to real-life possibility than ever, and there's lots to learn about it.
