A good laugh can be had watching the BBC show Top Gear, They’re growing their own fuel for use next season.
Again though there is a supply problem, most bio-fuels are using fertilizer made from petro chemicals.

You can learn more about Bio-Diesel from algae by googling PES-wiki.
I have tried in vain to post links to this and many other alternative fuel source pages.

The Tesla coupe and roadster are to set to debut later this year,
The Tesla cars are 100% electric with a average cruise range of 295 miles.
0-60 MPH in under 6 seconds and will recharge over night at your home and it should sell for around $80,000 US.

Kits are available for purchase of brown gas generators,
a brown gas generator uses electrolysis to free
up hydrogen and oxygen to be injected into a vehicles intake system with the intent of a more complete fuel burn off which results in more power,greater fuel efficiency and lower emmissions and all from tapwater.
Gasoline vehicles enjoy up to 25% better economy and diesels up to 50% better MPG.
Canadian residents benefit from a clean air tax rebate when using these systems.

Hawk, thanks for responding to my rather non-controversial piece.
You are correct, and the answers to your complaint are exciting. As I’m sure you know, 76% of France’s electrical power is nuclear power plant produced. But this aside, there is very exciting work going on using the world’s fastest growing plant – algae. This research shows it can be used to produce both diesel and gasoline and on very little land, compared to corn and other stuff.
The $100.00 price for a barrel of oil will result in fantastic advances in energy research. Hand on, it ought to be fun. Grimmy

The only problem I have with any variation of the electric car is that the electricity is made (at least in the east) using coal burning plants. We’re just subsitituting one form of pollution for another. Now those student engineers who came up with a solar car!!!!
