I am genetically engineering a new fuel, it's basically Ethanol spliced with Yeast... you throw a little sugar in the tank, the hybrid Ethanol/Yeast molecules eat it and reproduce. So the fuel grows in your tank. Ahahahaahah! Can I have some?

you get a proton, it moves across a membrane......just like in photosynthesis which has been happening without a hitch for millions of years (everyone now bow in awe....I just said photosynthesis)...right....noone cares ....just as I thought....whatevah....okay just keep on burning shit...that's what we do best, eh? (Maybe I'll just sell my stocks in Ballard....people are just too f*ing addicted to burning stuff.....I think I'll go make a fire now-isn't that part of the human condition?)

Finally got to this thread, although I got a bit involved in this with my local newspaper. The truth is, people, oil is a FINITE supply. It can't be reproduced. We can fight all we want over it, we can drill all we want, eventually it WILL run out. So we HAVE to switch to renewable resources, the only question is how much of the earth (and other humans) will we destroy before we get moving on doing the inevitable?
Honestly, as sucky as these high prices are to me personally, I am glad to see them, because it draws attention to the fact we need to change, and it makes alternatives more feasable/reasonable, and perhaps even encourages funding for research for renewables. Not just hybrids although they are good, (but still use oil!) but truly alternative sources.

You CAN make Oil I read about it in this Old Garding Book with that Green Acres Guy on it. You Take 1 Inch Steel Barrel (Tank) 700 Pounds Pressure And it full of Cow/Pig/Whatever Manure It will turn into Crude Oil in time Texas Tea Black Gold At OVER $100.00 a Barrel It may start getting where it would pay to do that P.S. They could also use human Waste

The hidden factor there is how much time....

Not to mention how much energy it takes to continue applying that much pressure, and how much oil you burn doing it....

When Gas Hits $100.00 a gallon soon Then You may try to find a steel barrel and fill it with Poo And get a Bicycle Air Pump to put Pressure in there Or get all the Dogs you can find and hook them to a Kids Wagon and make a Dog Slead Hee Hee

I think the Next Stage in Fuel will be *Natural gas
It will run in the Engines allready Made for both Gasoline & Deisel
Buying the Tank and Converting will be a Pain and cost money
And instaling the Pump/etc on the Natural gas line on your home
But it will be better than nothing

On Fox News Gas may Hit $10.00 a Gallon before Summer ends !
If there is a Blow up / Disaster anywhere in the world
Now its $3.75 and everything is working good
If Bad happens it will Hit $10.00 a Gallon Quick !
Or More !
OMG !

There is already a patent on the poo fermentor idea, Freck. The only problem is that it would have to be compressed and then no one could safely park in parkades (with the compressed tanks). Seriously, hydrogen is the way to go....we're going to be short of clean water anyway....may as well solve two problems at once.
