The risk isn't when we run out. It's when it costs too much. Ethanol isn't going to do us much good. greyfalcon. net/ ethanol.png Brazil is a Red Herring, almost all of their fuel comes from domestic Oil. And they have plans to dramatically increase their oil production. greyfalcon. net/ brazil Don't have to be rich, but thats only in the tropics. Ah yes, Palm Oil BioDiesel. Not like thats going to do us any good. greyfalcon. net/ palmoil greyfalcon. net/ soy

Yes you are right. Cost is a driver of change. Do you believe that steps towards carbon emission reduction are a steps in the right diection?

Destruction of wetlands and rainforests for fuel crops is a serious issue for the world. Maybe stored solar electricity from the sun will be used to power future transport.

Maybe new technologies will emerge. Sometimes simple solutions from ordinary people work. Good luck with your 100% electric car project

we will never use a new fuel untill the oil companys start losing money with fossil fuel, ie: people stop buying it. yea, not gonna happen. oil companys, in one way or another, basically control what fuel we use. if they keep making billions off of it, they won't change. its unfortunate really

High octane from biofuel equates to more horsepower and torque!

I would love to see military equipment, space shuttle, running on ethanol. lol

whomever controls the oil supply in Iraq will control the world and weaken other countries military.

is all about world domination and the civilians are expendable.

run on water? Do you have any idea how many people die every year because of a lack of water? Go watch the documentary a world without water before you decide thats the way to go.

[yertalert]

i think just running on water is the way to go... but i think veg oil for diesels is a good way to recycle the waste veg oil... mean while i think we should run on water... it cleans the o-zone and its safe... you can google it for more info! thanks

Well clean power is good.

And we're getting there.

Oh, and a good thing to note.

Driving on electricity from the dirtiest coal plants would be like driving a Prius in emmisions.

That means existing nighttime charging capacity (plus extra power plant fuel) can support virtually an entire countries worth of electric cars. Without building even 1 new power plant.

Well 100% electric probably won't be for a while.

Instead, something more like the Chevy Volt:

A fully electric car, with a scaled down battery, and a lightweight gasoline generator for backup electricity.

That way you can drive on 100% electric for all your commutes. And for those long range trips, or inbetween you got gasoline.

Phoenix Motors will probably be the first to deliver this tech.
