This article contains some illogical statements.

First:

From the article:

"Here’s the conventional wisdom: Oil was made from the slow crushing of ancient plants (and dinosaurs!) under the Earth over millions of years. That’s why we call it “fossil fuel,” and that’s why it’s not a renewable resource — the supply is finite, and we’re reaching the peak of that supply.

That’s the conventional wisdom. But it’s wrong.

We can actually make.... More

one Malaysian has develop energy using water. he broke the H2O and sent the H2 to the engine to furnish the used up of hydrocarbon from petroleum. interested contact me at abuasmara@yahoo.com.

There is also another alternative fuel method by converting municipal sewer waste (MSW) by a process called "plasma gasification." Other hazardous material like HAZ biomass, HIV material (blood, body parts) can also be processed safely without any foul or toxic emissions. There is Hidden Energy in all that garbage and MSW,

I hope everyone doesn't run around thinking wow this is great. Do a search on "Rudolph Diesel" (yes diesel is his last name) the inventor of the combustion engine who ran his engine on oil (PEANUT OIL) with 0 bad emissions....he may of continued to perfect the bio-refining method further except his so-called mysterious death at the hands of the coal company's (railroad barons and coal mine owners were threaten by him and his clean burning engine). So all you sheep out there don't beleave the.... More

Wish all our research energy scienties kept pushing to change from fossil fuels to alternative fuels for our vehicles.
We don't need to keep those Arab countries to be super rich all the time. Time for us to be independent from foriegn suppliers.

One neat thing about this is that carbon dioxide is consumed in the process of growing the materials that would be converted into gasoline. Then, as it is burned, that carbon dioxide is, in a sense, just "put back". Now, I know it won't be perfectly clean, but the net release of carbon dioxide would be substantially less. There are other ideas over the horizon that are potentially better, but in the mean time something like this could really simplify our energy needs.

It's a step in the right.... More

The idea of sawdust to fuel is an innovative idea and I suppose is plausible,however producing it competitively with crude based gasoline might turn out to be a real challenge at 40-50$ a barrel.Incidentally,a refinery barrel is only 42 gals..
As for T.Boone Pickens...Cavaet Emptor!!! I live in Texas and I remember that he and one of his rich cronies wanted to buy up all of the water rights to some huge Texas aquifiers,but our legislature prevented it from becoming a reality...T.... More

Once the nuclear electricity is plentiful, the electric bullet train network will replace white knuckling it in a car over long distances, and cramping up in jet planes after hours of fighting terminals. Imagine a lounge chair and cold drinks, complete and comfortable bathroom facilities, even dining cars for your traveling pleasure, and all at 320 kph! Downtown connections , departure at the local subway stations, tickets almost free compared to oil intensive private transportation and.... More

ALmost all of the vehicles on the road today run on gasoline or diesel. Who decided that? Science and economics! Those two types of fuel produce the most energy for the least amount of money. We didn't need the government to decide that - the market did.

Free markets and innovations made those fuels more economical and more effecient over the years...all in spite of the government, not because of it.

The same thing will happen for our next fuel source. Science and innovation will.... More
