I think that we are never going to use for our fuel anything but gasoline. Don't get me wrong I think some people might have something elese but the vast majority of people in the U.S will always use gasoline. They had steam engines for trains 100 years ago and they are trying to tell us that they need to find another way for fuel. That is ridculous. We have had the tecnology for years for other things just won't do it. I drive a forklift at work that runs on propane. Also we have a electric forklift. Why not a car then because there is too much money to lose get real it is never going to happen.

Oil sands in Canada and beneath the Rockie Mountains are being tapped and should last another 150 years or more. Other forms of fuel or motive power will have to compete with gas and diesel as the standard fuel in terms of price, ease of use, cleanliness and availability but I'm sure we can afford to expand our options as to what choices the consumer has. Just call your Congressperson and tell them to get the Department of Energy moving on this issue--it hasn't done much in 30 years since it was started.

Electric cars should definitely be produced. It's not a technological problem; there IS no problem! The range easily exceeds sixty miles per charge and can be greatly improved. I saw a documentary on TV that convinced me that electric vehicles are feasible and low-polluting (actually zero-polluting, but emissions are produced by the generation of power). I'm far from a conspiracy theorist, but it's clear to me that electric vehicle production is blocked by car companies and oil companies in favor of what they view as maximum profit. And it's a shame.
They're not really all that expensive, and the price would go way down if they were mass produced, but car companies resist.

Hydrogen cars are coming out in 2010. And oxygen cars are coming out soon after. Oxygen cars are powered by compressed air. They will have a generator that will compress the air causing a continuous cycle and you will never have to stop to refuel.

Someday, the oil in the ground will be all used up. We will hit the bottom of the barrel.
What's your thoughts on that?
