Qatar and the alternative energy are not enemies -as some people might think . Though Qatar's main income is from the natural gas it has immense solar energy sources as well . Yes -it is very hot here for a half year - for another half it is less hot - and we can enjoy the cold just for a month or two . Then I did not mention the windy side of this country .
So no wonder that they invest in alternative energy researches . This time a lithium-ion battery run electric car was introduced . It can run 400km at high-speed without being recharged ... well , well all of this is very nice . But are not the li-on batteries are dangerous when overheated ? And this is the thing that might happen very easily in Qatar . Dubai cargo plane carrying such batteries caught fire and crashed in 2010 .
I guess that it is a long way until safely run electric cars will be spread in the world . For me the reports on incidents are rather frightening . Qatar has to invest a lot in researches until result comes .
I am not an expert - I might be wrong - I would be the happiest to read soon that battery run cars safety issues are solved .
