There are plenty of alternative fuel sources, but they all suffer fromimportant problem....None of them are cheaper per mile than gasoline.

Simple solution, the US government could legislate that 25% of all
automobiles that are produced in the USA from 2007 onward should be
Ethanol
fuelled only and subsidise that segment of the industry, then require Gas
stations to allocate a similar percentage of pumps for Ethanol fuel giving
tax breaks to those ......
The problem with ethanol is that it still makes and releases carbon dioxide
into the air when it burns, so the (much greater) problem of global warming
would continue. This is why I am an advocate of electric cars using
electricity from nuclear power plants. Hydrogen only creates water when it
burns, but I don't understand how they would generate the hydrogen, and so I
can't really comment on that method. We really have to solve two problems,
you see. The short term economic problem of how to transport people to work
every day cheaply, and without gasoline, and the long term problem of how to
not destroy the earth with carbon dioxide in its atmosphere.........Any
short term solution that does not address the long term one is very
dangerous.
