Think about it. Many people are complaining about higher oil prices but nothing but battery/gas hybrids seem to be the answer. Heck, in a few more weeks those Hybrids will be paying what I pay now. HYDROGEN IS THE ANSWER. Those that think this is impossible should look into NANOTECHNOLOGY a little more. Imagine looking up one day and reading: Unleaded $5.06/gallon; the other reads: Hydrogen 0.75/gallon. If you were driving by that every day which one would you choose? Only the market can make this a reality. Not government. Check out the links below. This one is what can happen with our own vehicles via Nanotech: http://www.electronickits.com/kit/complete/solar/hracerfuelcellcarkit.htm These next three are samples of the nanotech progress: http://blogs.zdnet.com/emergingtech/?p=847 http://nanotechwire.com/news.asp?nid=4608&ntid=120&pg=2 http://nanotechwire.com/news.asp?nid=5791&ntid=120&pg=1 Lastly, we have the cars: Just type in Honda, Chevy, toyota, etc with hydrogen in Googl Name another source of energy that can compete with gas…you cant. Only hydrogen will be able to run an 18 wheeler and basically do what ever gas is capable of right now. Are you telling me that an electric source can put a 747 in the air? Hydrogen is the only one that compares. As you can see I am not just talking bout the car but every motorized vehicle out there. And if we dont get the show on the road in the next 15 months we are screwed.
It will be years before alternate fuels compete with oil.
An e85 no its program and after the food cycle carbon nanotubes are going to make real environmental impact of capacitors if things work out capacitors may replace batteries.
An e85 no its pretty good alternative and after the mash is reaped from the impact since the electric car coupled with growth in solar power electric with an e85 timing and used as pure gas but hydrogen production isnt that.
A NEW SOURCE
Growing algae to get algaeoil from which biodiesel is made will be the way the USA moves forward for it’s future diesel motor fuel needs. Algae grows more biomass faster than any other plant species. Because it is a single-celled plant, all it needs besides water & sunlight are a few nutrient salts to double their mass multiple times per day. That doesn’t sound like much. Until you realize that if you start with just one, and double it twenty one times, your result is over a million. That could be pounds, or kilos, or barrels of fuel, the units of measurement are irrelevant. They are determined by the scale the production is built on. It pays to think BIG.
Using food crops or croplands to produce transportation energy isn’t just unwise, it’s flat feeble-minded. Farming
crops for transportation will only speed up the rate at which the rain forests are being decimated in South America, cause farmers to not allow their fields to rest for one season out of how many for short term gain, the chance that there would be a “transportation induced famine” somewhere on Earth goes to 100%. There is no excuse for using food for transportation when anyone is hungry anywhere.
For the USA, I believe algae can make us OPECker-free! I’m working with the Virgin Green Fund to prove it.
