Green Cars afford business many advantages. Because as researches proved, oil would finish in almost 30 years, and so people would have to either, buy green autos or live without cars, which is impossible. Also, due to the expectations of the upcoming global worming that need s to be prevented, petrol cars will be banned in the future. Due to this, many people would rush to buy the green automobiles that shouldn't be very expensive.
However, green cars are very hard and expensive to make, since they have very high technologies, so there price will be very high and many people won't afford it, and so they might turn back to petrol cars.
Also having billions of petrol cars nowadays may cause a problem in business when the green cars are on for sale, petrol cars will not be needed since they cause air pollution and they might be restricted by higher authorities. So there will be so many petrol cars on for sale but no one to buy and so there price will highly drop while on the other hand, the price of green cars will highly increase due to there demand in the market and this might lead to inflation and then to economy crashes.
Overall, the concerns over global worming and oil consumptions, as well as the high restrictions over using petrol cars, has and will be the biggest issue for business. Green cars are further hampered by the lack of sufficient understanding by the people of its technology and of the dangers of the upcoming global worming. Car companies are looking into ways that can improve the propaganda of the green cars and make the people more comprehensive to its concept.

Criterion B
Criterion B
Researches proved that the carbon produced by cars these days is a main factor in increasing the size of the whole in the Ozone Layer which will lead in the end to Global Warming. If 2005 was the year of global Peak Oil, worldwide oil production in the year 2030 will be the same as it was in 1980. However, the world’s population in 2030 will be both much larger (approximately twice) and much more industrialized (oil-dependent) than it was in 1980. This is why the world will be looking for other sources of energy and fuel for cars and all the other machines. Car companies introduced many new technologies such as the hybrid cars and the electric cars (EV).

Hybrid Cars use an electric motor and large battery to take and store energy that is normally lost in inefficient gasoline engines. The energy is used to help run the vehicle and can dramatically improve fuel efficiency.
However, Even though hybrids are efficient, they still use oil; they are simply more efficient gasoline cars. A better solution would be Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). The idea is to increase the size of the battery in a normal hybrid so it can take more energy, and add a plug, so that the car can also get energy from the electrical grid or from rooftop solar power.
Another alternative for oil cars are the electrical cars that are more advanced in which they don't have a gas tank. The only power for the car is its electric motor and a very large battery pack, which is plugged in to recharge

John DeCicco, a Detroit based car expert was asked if the green cars will affect the US economy standards. DeCicco answered " I get this question a lot and the truth is that it's a very unhelpful and distracting issue. Fuel cell technology is very speculative. The challenges facing fuel cell technology make it a highly dubious proposition." [1] He also stated "This is not a technological issue. It's not about what technology is available. It's about how the technology is used." [2]
On the other hand Katsuaki Watanabe, Toyota's president, said at an environmental forum in Tokyo on June 11 "Without focusing on measures to address global warming and energy issues, there can be no future for our auto business." [3]
But DeCicco seems to have a different view; he stated that "none of the car companies are giving global warming any real consideration." [4]
So there's still a debate behind the real reason of making these kind of technology that should be environmental friendly.

Criterion A
Criterion A
[1]As of 2002, there were 590 million passenger cars worldwide (roughly one car per eleven people) ["Emission Facts", date unknown], [2] all emitting 11,450 lbs (5 tons) of carbon dioxide, along with smaller amounts of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen all polluting the air and the environment ["Our Ailing Communities", date unknown]. If one car is producing that amount, then if it's multiplied by 590 million cars around the world, about 2950 million tons of harmful gases causing air pollution and increasing the size of the Ozone layer.
Automobile companies started producing green automobiles that are "environment friendly". This type of automobiles is more efficient, consequently less polluting. Car makers are also working on developing an alternative fuel that does not depend on petrol. [3] About 75% of today's cars are recyclable, and using recycled steel, and this lessens energy consuming and pollution ["Automobiles and the Environment", date unknown].
However, reducing pollution is not the only reason behind making these types of cars. Companies are racing to own green car projects because high fuel taxes, only gave customers two choices, either to purchase lighter, smaller, more fuel-efficient cars, or to not drive.
