One of the key things overlooked by ppl like david is the fact diesel is 10x more important then gas… even if we were to turn every car and SUV on electric we will still need to make gas because we need diesel.(which then means that gas has to be disposed of). Bio-diesel can be made however the government(mostly the dems) are blocking it in favor of lining the pockets of their supporters. Current bio-diesel production can only be done on the small scale to be efficient… ie drive to the local dinner and getting their used oil. All the current research paths that are being taken are insanely inefficient… even the cheapest front runner is something like $1.20 to make $1 of bio-diesel.
The best system is algae based… it could be done in a factory or a lake or even the ocean. The problem is its so effective combined with the ease of use that ppl will be able to take the system and convert to use at home… which means that the government(ie Dems) will have a insanely hard time taxing the hell out of it. The main reason why gas is here to stay is because the Dems and all big government backers need taxes… and those taxes need to be easy to control and get. That is why in many states it costs 2k to get a license to run a bio-car… tickets for having a non-gas car can costs in the hundreds of dollars.
Even now big government is moving away from the gas tax to what they see as the next big “fuel”… electric. They have already started to push for big taxes on electric power and have started plans for raising the fines on bio-cars/non-easily taxable fuel cars.
