One thing we do have is coal. Most of these alternate fuels are merely a way 
to turn coal into something that can be used in cars. You could burn coal, 
generate electricity, use that to make Hydrogen. Of distill lots of corn or 
other starch. I don't know what that would do for the air, but someday oil 
will get to expensive no mater if it's diesel or gasoline. By then we will 
be getting serious about new fuels. I have seen pictures of the coal turbine 
that I thing Union Pacific built and pulled trains with. Way to much carbon 
build up.                   Rich Fox
