The way I see it, we can make electricity. Solar, nuclear, wind, geothermal, even wave technology allows for electricity generation. You and I can make watts and amps, we can not make oil and its by products. So, anything we consume in that manner is the future. For my kids and future generations, our addiction to oil is thinking in the past. It is a filthy and ancient form of energy. Just look what computers did for that suburban to allow leaps in performance in just the past few years. We can choose to move ahead or stay in the rut of polluting fossil fuels. The choice however will be out of market conditions, not any of our so called leader in Washington. They are owned by the oil companies. One of the reasons I bought an Airstream and not a high end motorhome is so that aging drive trains are history. New technology is going to drag these puppies around the country. Our current 2008 truck just towed 15k miles and 75% of that was on e85. Perfect, no, but at least most of the bucks went to american farmers. When the lease is up I will be looking to see what new form of beast is on the market. The more electric the power train, the better.
