New Fuel?

While I much prefer the idea of car free towns where people are transported by bicycles, public transportation, and their two good feet, the reality is people are addicted to cars. The fact is that gas prices are going up and it's due to nothing more than simple economics: demand keeps going up but supply is not. The bottom line is that cheap oil is thing of the past.

So, we can either keep emptying our pocketbooks buying oil from countries like Iran, Saudi Arabi, and those dastardly Canucks, or we can search for alternative sources of fuel that will decrease pollution and keep money in the United States. Of the Big 3 alternative fuels they all have significant limitations:

• Biofuels: Use lots of water, cost a lot, and (some argue) drive up the price of food
• Electricity: Batteries aren't quite good enough to do what most people expect from a car
