Comments on: Opinion: Introducing America's First Transportation Transition Plan http://gas2.org/2009/06/18/introducing-americas-first-transportation-transition-plan/ 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.

CHEERS !!! ;) another correction - electric vehicles can charge themselves constantly by placing a solar collector panel on the top of the vehicle !!! CHEERS ! It is really not as complicated , as the oil companies make it look , who are blocking the technologies , as they seek to re-face themselves for more big profits through special infrastructures or whatever else they find *;) heh one correction – hydrogen can be made from distilled water . 1 litre of water , can produce enough hydrogen to drive for 20 000 miles .

Namely, it takes much longer to charge an electric car than to fill a fuel-powered car. Even with long-range batteries and advanced charging systems, how many people would be willing to sit around and wait for their car to re-charge every few hundred miles? In my vision of the transportation future, electric cars never leave the city. We should really be pushing bio-fuel vehicles, since the infrastructure is already there as well as the technology. We just need an efficient way to harvest the fuel without taking food out of peoples mouths. We need to figure out a way to make the technology we have work harder, cleaner, and more efficiently while pursuing future transportation possibilities. But there needs to be a market too, and until crude prices climb again, I'm afraid interest will dry up faster than the oil wells. Not bad, but I have a few quibbles, especially with electric cars.

We need to move from Gas stations to FUELING stations that have gas, ethanol, diesel, biodiesel, CNG, electric charging stations, and hydrogen. This will allow consumers choice and develop competition for fuel choice and price. This will also free us from the OPEC strangle hold and help with energy security and independence. Great Idea.

That is simply not true. It is now possible to drive coast to coast, from New York to LA, on ONLY E85. Over the last year, the number of stations offering E85 has risen dramatically, even in these tough economic times- ethanol is growing rapidly. We're up to 2.164 stations nationwide, and growing by about 60 per month. So yes, you can now drive coast to coast on E85. Check it out on e85prices.com, find stations across the nation.
