...U drive what you want & so do I. Now ain't that the truth.
Gasoline, Natural Gas, Propane, Diesel whatever ... the bottom line is there ain't never gonna be enough cause it is the internal combustion engine that is the issue.
The earlier comment about bio fuels being an issue is correct. We are seeing it now that the price of corn has gone up dramatically..why.? Ethanol production and the fact that those producing will pay higher price for corn than feedstock owners will. Guess what.? your food prices will eventually skyrocket.! and not just grain prices but whatever feeds from that grain: cattle, pork, chickens etc.
We need to devise another way to get around. And electrical, In my opinion is the only way that I can think of - at least for city commuters and for the foreseeable future. Yea there are lots of issues to date. Battery life, range, how to charge etc. But those will all be solved. They will have to be. One only needs to look at the cost of a Barrel of oil. $92.00 and rising. I bet we see $150 or close to it by Summer 2008.
Hmm $1.80 per litre .! anyone..?? (that translates into about $7.00 a gallon)
and Diesel again in my opinion, won't be far off Gas prices either.
