your right neal, I've read that big oil just buys up the patents, whenever a new alternative to the oil burner comes around. "who killed the electric
car?" I've also heard from people in the oil and gas business, that the middle east oil is the best crude you can get, (easiest to refine) and not hard to get at. that is if you don't count the 100,000's of troops over there to help secure it. most of the north american oil is trapped in sand and shale and is difficult to refine. the bottom line... greeed... all we can do is make the best with what we have. and it's good to hear that there are ways of adapting our cars regardless. maybe things like electric motors, solar panels in-betted in the paint, ... flux capacitors? etc... will be affordable things we can actually do to our cars?

i have kind of been watching the fuel pump prices, and i cant help but wonder when the NEXT boost will come.the last boost this summer (ithink about 3.30 gallon HERE ) was blamed ( one reason i heard) on the israeli invasion : interesting i thought as that area doesnt really pumpoil ( as far as i know) .i guess they needed to hire more security guards to watch the docks. i think the year before they blamed it on Katrina, also interesting.I have been reading up a liittle on the Ethanol, and would love to build a motor to run it, but it needs high compression sounds like , so u have to start at ground level. On a more cynical note, all the hippies around here are runningaround acting like Bio diesel and E85 will save the world, but i havecynically reminded them that soon big money will catch on and grab those markets, and the little backyard bio diesel brewing thing willbe a thing of the past, probably outlawed by exxon that will have thelobbying money to make it so. They just look at me like- " man your really a negative dude." MAYBE they make for cleaner air , but as far as the price gouging goes, i am afraid that will never change. The sad thing about energy sources is that no matter what source we use, I believe big money will just eventually control it and the whole thing carries on. neal zimmerman, eugene Oregon -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Or how I learned to stop worrying and love email again ----Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
