out of gas, what are you gonna do? Options

i was reading about how fast the world consumes fossil fuels, and it has been estimated that we will run out of oil in 20 years.

so what are you gonna do when gas is 10 dollars a gallon, or when we are out of gas?

with full electric cars, we are still limited on battery performance. So far the best electric cars have a range of less then 100 miles.

Ethanol is not an 100% gas substitute. "Drawbacks: The DOE backs ethanol as an energy efficient fuel, but some researchers, such as Cornell's David Pimentel, argue that the biofuel requires more than a gallon of oil to make just one gallon of ethanol. And even if all of the nation's corn supply were recruited for ethanol, the fuel would meet less than 10 percent of transportation needs. The environmental consequences of ramping up pesticides to produce large-scale biofuel crops also must be considered."


hydrogen powered cars: well it takes alot of energy to get hyrdrogen, and there is no safe way to store it. we are currently having problems storing this in car, so currently the range of a hyrogen powered car is severly limited.

air powered cars: i dont know much about it. But it appears as they make the cars with very high tech matericals so it is very light. So that is why it has decent range ( 100+ miles).

Hybrid cars still need gasoline power.
