    We found oil, we found coal, we split atoms, and created power from all of them, and we will find the next source and create power from it. We always do, it may cost more, but we always find ways to support our needs.

    Every other option will be expensive until everything that uses power converts over to that source and production achieves the massive scale. Necessity is the mother of invention. I'm sure we'll be fine whatever the future brings.

    I know for a fact that an engine can run off off Moonshine, which in the long run means a rebuild, but if that can work almost 10+ years ago....anything can happen.

    The industry controls this idea....don't expect that to change, even if something "cool" and "more beneficial" comes to light.

    I use to be able to run off Moonshine, but the lack of a rebuild possibility put a stop to that.

    Another alternative that is being utilized by more and more as time goes by:

    Bio-diesel...hmmmmmmm

    Think about the weight problem that will ensue.

    People driving around, they get behind a semi that just filled up with bio-diesel that came from the deep fryers from McDs. They get hungry for fries and chicken nuggets.

    Every time Jesse walks into the room, "Sharp Dressed Man" starts playing in the background.

    LOL.

    I don't care about the new tech, and new stuff. I want a car that drinks petrol like I do Beam. I want to kill flowers and small wildlife on the side of the highway from my exhaust as I jam through gears. I want a motor that will dump a ton of extra gas right into the exhaust when I downshift, just for fun. I want a ride that will create a hole in ozone layer, directly above me wherever I go.

    You want a '68 GTO, a fine car and will do all the above.
