You can make your own biodiesel.

You can make your own alcohol.

While you may be able to run your car or truck off biodiesel and alcohol, you cannot run the entire 210 millions cars and trucks that are in America off biodiesel and alcohol..

The notion that somehow, someway, the US will ever become "energy independent" is not a realistic notion!!

Well then battery powered vehicles and nuclear, hydro, and wind power is the way to go?

It is possible to have a fast electric vehicle.

It is possible to have a long range electric vehicle.

If anyone around here has any pull, try and get these people to sell their batteries at a reasonable price(they will change everything including hybrids):
