It's this right there that makes me nervous.

New technology costs money and time.  Plus, it will take time to build the
support for this new technology (trained mechanics, not to mention fueling
stations).  I'm not keen on making that big a jump.  What I think needs to
be done is a new fuel that works with our current vehicles needs to be
created (and forget this ethanol crap...I like my corn and corn prices where
they are).

I'm not saying that research shouldn't be done, but practicality needs to be
taken into account.  The way things are now, filling my tank hurts.  I don't
want to think about bringing another car payment into the mix.

Well like it or not, changing fuels is going to be a major investment. Your either going to have to buy a new car or spend a large sum to convert your old car. This change is not going to be without some personal investments.
I mean look Hydrogen buring cars and electric cars have been around since I was 5 or 6, but the generation & storage of the potential energy has been the problem.


I think that we are close to having something other than gasoline to run our cars and bikes on. What will it be? I don't know, I'm not sure that anyone is certain.
