a tailpipe that emits nothing but air

I'm pretty sure that's a "greenhouse gas" and must be regulated...

...compressing air is notoriously energy intensive.

Take a deep breath and exhale.

If you need assistance, nuclear power is cleaner and cheaper.

Political directives however are known to be very expensive.

Industrial strength dumb idea. Compressing air is VERY inefficient.

"Air compressors are one of the least efficient machines to convert electricity to work,"

Ironically you might make it work from an energy efficient perspective by using liquid Co2 or dry ice (also Co2) as the compress gas source... fill a pressure tank with a dry ice slushy and apply a little heat to get the gas pressure up

It's a good news/bad news thing....

The good news is it actually works

The bad news is that not only do you look like a total goober driving one around but....

YOU ARE SITTING ON TOP OF A COMPRESSED AIR CYLINDER PRESSURISED TO 4500 PSI

which by the way takes four hours to refill for a 20 mile trip at normal speeds.

If we could hook it up to the average politician we could double the mileage.
