    Alternative fuels really aren't the answer - electric cars or cars that run on battery power are. But for now, go with biodiesel. I look forward to the next generation of diesel engines for smaller cars. I know VW is cooking up something good.

    VW is has a diesel hybrid in concept right now based Golf body that get 70 miles to the gallon....20 better than the prius I think http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/volkswagen-golf-tdi-hybrid/670951/

    Ultimately it all has to come from the sun...the source.... and go electric. The sooner the better... and it's going to have to start in the next 10-20 years....preferable earlier (as in now) though, as there will be ongoing war for oil until it happens.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    its amazing... how could the sun be overlooked for so long :)

    lol if there is a god and this is a hint or clue... they are probably laughing at us...

    nature gives us all the answers we have ever gotten..

    AND THE SUN IS OVERLOOKED

    as far as vehicles go ... definitely electric ...

    on a similar topic ... there is a house in my neighbourhood that is off the grid - so to speak ... it is connected to the grid and sells excess power but draws from it when it needs to ...

    it supports a family of four and besides not wasting energy - they have the same electronics as everyone else ...

    surely, if they can live in a home that provides the majority of the energy we need - so, can many of us ... the first alternative is not some miracle energy source - it's dependent on us to acknowledge our footprint and make changes accordingly ...

    "if only we could find some spare energy"

    "yeah...if only..."

    "something else to burn besides oil"

    "yeah..something that burns and releases energy and lasts seemingly forever"

    "hmm..................."

    "ahh...fuck it...I can't think the outside here under the heat of this hot burning sun everywhere it's making me flustered"

    "yeah actually I'm getting a sunburn.....ouch it burns..."

    "uh...can we bomb someone?"

    "definitely.....agreed"

    "sweet I'm hungry... lunch?"

    Sure.....I need to get my sunglasses first though...sometimes the sun gets in my eyes and burns like fire to the point that I'm blinded and I can't even see anything at all...

    "f-ing sun..maybe we should bomb it..."

    ha! ... no ... just simply the sun is not an alternative ... it should be a primary source right now!

    Short term: Electric.

    Long term: Helium-3 http://www.wired.com/science/space/news/2006/12/72276

    Hydrogen - IS NOT A POWER SOURCE! It is a power STORAGE mechanism, like a battery. Hydrogen so far as science currently has it is nothing more than a sham of a solution. Sounds great though, as long as you don't dig too deep.
    .....the Hindenburg used hydrogen....look how that turned out. ;):D
