Re: Pinks, Gasoline, Abiotic Petroleum , and Titan

Americans already have too much food. We have an oversupply of food as the media keeps pounding into our heads...60 percent or something like that are overweight or obese...so I think bio diesel has tremendous potential. Especially seen in light of national security issues where WE MUST stop buying middle easter oil. This should have been mandated on 9/12/2001, but what do I know.

You may be right though about electric if they can get that range without having to weigh what a bicycle weighs. Electrical engines also have a tremendous range....1 gear and ALL torque. There is even an electric car drag racing group, kind of like the NHRA.

I don't think the biodeisel route will take off because it consumes a valuable resource in the process - that being food. Plus I read where we can't produce enough bio matter to make much of a dent in our fuel use.

I think electric powered cars with 300+ mile range and quick recharge capability is the future. This approach solves too many problems to ignore. Plus electricity can be produced from a variety of processes and can be done with very little environmental impact.
