Comments on: A Truck That Runs on Coffee Grounds (and How Wood-Gas Powers Cars With Garbage) http://gas2.org/2008/05/14/a-truck-that-runs-on-coffee-grounds-and-how-wood-gas-powers-cars-with-garbage/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

The entire planet is carbon based, but these carbon based biomass sources are just going to release these GHG's into the atmosphere anyway, through decomposition, at least the majority of them can be burned, leaving less of them to damage our planet, and providing an economical and sustainable fuel to humans worldwide. To hell with oil and their fuel prices exceeding $3 per gallon. When I started driving it was 87 cents per gallon for regular unleaded, and the only way the oil companies will let it go to those prices again, is when we turn on them completely, as a people. We can live better lives without petroleum based fuels. Thank God for wood gasification, and the ingenuity that created it and remembered it. Everytime the oil companies get too big for their breaches, the economy suffers recession. Everything is a carbon based source, we are on Earth.

If anything the poster should take a stupid hammer and wack himself in the face and realize in life there is precious little that is carbon free.

Thanks for nice post. It inspires me. Yes, absolutely I agree that this technology could play a major role in producing petroleum alternatives in the near future (more on that later).

Looks like something from mad maxx When that car was a normal gas vehicle it was not very efficient because of the size & weight. Using this gasification system in a lighter vehicle like a honda civic would produce much better results if eco friendly is what you are trying to achieve. For a system like this you have to start a fire which burns the grounds which melts the polar ice caps. Burning things to make energy is a step backward and will just melt the ice caps quicker. Millions of cars running on what is basically a fireplace is not any better for us than running on oil except that trees and coffee grounds are renewable. Solar and wind to make energy is a much better option, now we just need better energy storage solutions. How many grounds per mile? Looks like something from mad maxx

This is a ruse for what they are really wanting, which is: no vehicles for anyone except people that they deem special or has a need for a vehicle. In 1999, an Iowa farmer answered Washington's call for a better fueled vehicle with his Dodge D-50 compact pick up. The gas engine was converted to run on hydrogen. Al Gore met the man and threatened him. The farmer went back to Iowa with his putz in his hand. Secondly, the "evil" oil companies will be vary angry at you for screwing up the free enterprise system with all of these GD alternative fuels. Do you really want to make your point by having yourself, spouse and your babies machine gunned down in front of God and everybody? The authorities will look the other way at Uncle Sam's behest. This kind of thinking starts fights and I do not want fights with Big Brother, because guess who always wins? Give me gas, oil and poison air anyday! You want to clean up something? Clean the water supply. Forget this vehicle business. The way to cure vehicle woes is to not vote liberals into office. If nothing else, at least be honest here and tell me how to take vehicles away from people and re-distribute them to a worthy class of people. Look people,
