The 'alternative fuels' installment neatly collects and compares information on some of the proposed replacements for Gasoline, and magnifies the fallacy of putting all the chips on dependence upon electric cars. Nice work.

I think I'll start hording gas (and Sta-Bil).  :P

Yet, for me, it is what keeps me alive.

The anti-capitalists would say someone is getting exploited.   ::)

Thank you for your kind  comments, oh Otto of Puzzells!    :hail:  Soon you will be seeing an article that suggests Honda is taking a "we'll believe it when we see it" approach toward the electric car.

Personally, I would be happy with a diesel car that gets 60+ mpg and uses only fuel derived from renewable resources.  If I were president......... :scratch:
