If this country started right now and made the same kind of people/resource commitment to designing practical alternative fuel powerplants as we did to landing on the moon, you'd be cruising in a non-fossil-fuel vehicle inside of 10 years easy. Unfortunately, there's too much money to be made on fossil fuels in the meantime, and as sad and unfair as it is, that joke about the Golden Rule is true - they who have the gold make the rules. Big money contributors (like oil & auto companies) have billions to spend on "helping" things go their way, so things generally go their way. But by the same token, as fossil fuels are depleted, there will be so much money to be made on providing an alternative powerplant that it'll happen in plenty of time.

Originally posted by Hoop: It has been predicted that by the year 2020 the worlds fossil fuel supply will be depleted. Enjoy. That may not be so true. Up here in Canada (Northern Alberta), there is over three times the amount of crude oil than there is in Saudi Arabia. Of course it's locked away in the tar/oil sands, so it's harder to produce. Also, there has been a new very large deposit found in the Gulf of Mexico just recently.

The oil aint running out any time soon, and with such low pollution vehicles today, there is no crisis. Just stay away from those left wing special interests who love to wash your brain Bush has diverted most reasearch money from more silly clean burning engine research to Hydrogen Emagine not having to carry Jerry Cans?

For that price difference, it's *almost* worth it to drive the 15 miles...*almost* Absolutely. Filled up in New Jersey on Sunday for $2.71 a gallon. It's still hovering around $3.00 here. Some stations lower, and a few miles away as high as $3.10 or more.

Google "cracking oil" Many refineries in the east have these installed and can produce a significant amount of fuel from the worthless asphalt that is left over after refining. North american oil has a larger amount of asphalt than middle eastern oil. But, your local highway department hates these towers. The gas shortage will be replaced with an asphalt shortage. Once asphalt become profitable, expect more to be made, reducing the gas supply, increasing prices all around. Notice the dividing line on the map for cheap gas. Western states oil refineries were slow in purchasing the cokers http://www.gasbuddy.com/gb_gastemperaturemap.aspx

Go 25 miles into DC and it's over $3 Where do you live in NOVA? 2.31 sounds good to me. Around the Woodbridge area it is around 2.49. I guess I can check gasbuddy.com.

Additionally, it seems the gas companies are making more now than when gas was at $3 or higher. Go figure.
