Enough with combustion cycles to produce power...
it's time to start advancing the alternatives. Fact is electric is viable right now, but the damn things are priced (thanks to corporate, read oil companies smear campaign and making it damn near impossible to pursue) out of the normal working persons range!

The Tesla roadster for instance. Here is a car that can whip the snot out of almost any gas fired pollution bucket, go over 200 miles on a single charge AND takes 10 minutes to recharge! Now take this same technology apply it to lighter vehicles targeted at the average consumer and we have a winner! Solar power/fueling stations coupled with wind generators and several issues are resolved.

The internal combustion engine is old and outdated for personal automotive transportation. That leaves the big heavy diesels and planes to consume carbon based fuel. Which means they need to meet emissions and increase their efficiency as well. Ehtanol, biodiesel... nice stop gaps but come on, the reality is on the horizon. devil
