I think etanol could work on smaller scale than petrol And it think i could work in small country like the netherland or luxenborg. So what do you all think could work? WHy would it "need" to work at any scale? WHy do YOU want ethanol? It is not cheaper.. it is not more abundant... it is not more efficient... it is not even cleaner burning... it has ZERO advantage over gasoline other than being "not gasoline". How coul dit work in the Netherlands? The Netherlands doesnt even produce enough food on its own and imports to survive, so where is it going to "grow the corn and beets and cane" for the ethanol? In some 3rd world country? Import it from the USA or China? Gasoline will work just fine and will keep working just fine. Why the obsession to move away from gasoline? Because some people say it will be gone in 50 of 100 years from now. 8)

How many news stories are supressed when some MAJOR oil reserve is found... its happening ALL the time. One of the most recent is being said it will last (It's a US located reserve) in excess of 500 years of growth alone... Think of how much is unexplored around the world... It's mind blowing.

For now gasoline. At somepoint somethign will replace gas.. Not because Gas disappears but because something becomes cheaper then gas. As I said, based on current observations I think nuclear is a large posibility.. But if I knew that for sure when it happened someone in my family would make billions. since I don't.. well.. here we are.

nuclear is definitely in the near future. engineers have made huge strides in making nuclear power plants better, safer.

but once there is loads of cheap electricity, while gasoline gets even more expensove, you can say good by to the old aged internal combustion motor. we'll all be driving silent (boring) electric cars, which we probably won,t be controlling anyway.

biodiesel will never make it on a large scale, better and cleaner diesel is a better bet.
