		<description>Interesting article, though not particularly realistic.  EV&#039;s and Gas Hybrids will still not be found in large numbers by 2010-2012 as they are not sustainable and not particularly green.  The migration through Clean Diesel, biodiesel and syndiesel blends to B100 and S100 have the best chance for success.  If you want to know why the world is using petroleum based oil, research the funding of Prohibition by Rockefeller and Standard Oil.</description>

		<description>Lithium wont work as a fuel for the future unless batteries become very efficient, and longer lasting.



Currently lithium batteries &quot;burn&quot; out become oxidized every 4-5 years



Thousands of dollars will have to be spent to buy new batteries to replace the old ones.



There is only 35 million tons of easily recoverable  lithium in the world,and only 15 of that is available now.



Lots of extra energy would be needed to extrat lithium from other sources. A giant Lithium infrastructure would have to be built. The US would have to build hundred of powerplants to power all the electric cars.



This is a call to end suburbs. Suburbs are stupid anyway.  Citys are the technological evolution of our civilization. Cities are highly efficient, suburbs are wasteful. The great infrastructure of highways and cars wouldnt be needed if we all lived in cities.</description>

		<description>Perhaps Algae.



Or microbs that make fuel.



Liquid or compress H2 is terible.



NH3 is much better for a whole host of reasons.



Easy to make, liquid at much higher temperatures, and lower pressures, and 50% more H in every molecule.



NH3&gt;&gt;&gt;fuel cell&gt;&gt;&gt;electric cars&gt;&gt;&gt;no carbon emmission.



When you get the N from atmosphere, the H from water, and put it together, it is totally clean and natural when you use it.  The N goes back to the atmosphere, and the H to water.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s a key flaw in the author&#039;s logic:  We&#039;re not running out of gasoline--we&#039;re running out of freedom.



If the foreign-oil-company-bribery-bought regulations that were put into place in 1973 in the United States to keep American oil companies (except the biggest, Bush-owned ones) from functioning were rescinded, the HUGE deposits, which are currently sitting untapped, would be opened up, and (1) we would have plenty of petroleum again, (2) America would become the world&#039;s principle supplier of oil again, (3) gas prices would drastically lower (especially in the U.S.A.), and mom-n-pop oil companies (which were all forced out of business by those regulations) would crop back up.</description>
