Apparently we do, because Ethanol isn't going to help anything.
burning ethanol actually produces 54% more CO2 as global warming pollutant than gasoline
other solutions are still a long way off...

Isn't more because ethanol is quick-replenishing (coming from plants and all) and oil isn't (well not for millions of years) that they want to shift to ethanol? Wouldn't think the bastards would be doing it to counter global warming.

hydrogen won't work either...don't worry...right before we run out of oil, zero point energy will amazingly be discovered...or we r fucked...

yep, retards will always fall for the same trick, no matter how many times it's pulled

they're right about the dems though. what a bunch of worthless pantywaists

OK Dr. Geoof, tell us why hydrogen 'won't work'.

u mean u don't know idiot? it's called 'the laws of physics'...converting hydrogen into usable energy takes a shitload of energy in the form of water, natural gas and biomass...it's less than 25% efficient...natural gas and usable water is already running out...r u some kind of moron?...

actually captain insensible here has a point - iirc hydrogen fuel cells cost more energy than you get out of them, at least with current technology

just hook up a generator to plained's wheelchair and the spinning corpses of the founders (combined with a form of fusion) and america has all the energy it'll ever need

There's efficiency, and there's 'murrrr...won't work'. Internal combustion engines are only about 20-25% efficient, they've lasted a while. There are non-petroleum sources of hydrogen available, ammonia for one, and the hydrogen technologies are moving along at a decent pace.
I myself prefer flywheel-based vehicles.

Wow, you are a non-reading dumbfuck, aren't you? :olo: Idiot.
The stoner dishpig giving a lecture on the state of hydrogen technology. Fucking rofl.

Hey dickhead, what's the formula for ammonia? You may be surprised what's in it. :olo:

as i understand it, the main problem in alternative energy sources for vehicles is energy storage. the combustion engine stores fuel no problem because the refining process has already done all the hard work

in any case, no amount of energy green-ness will satisfy the more extreme environazis, who are more interested in taking us back to the seventeenth century than anything else

The ammonia-based solution to which I'm referring solves that problem. I think it was in a fairly recent issue of IEEE Spectrum. Quite ingenious, really.

There are two primary uses for hydrogen today. About half is used to produce ammonia (NH3) via the Haber process, which is then used directly or indirectly as fertilizer. Because both the world population and the intensive agriculture used to support it are growing, ammonia demand is growing.

Hydrogen has a high energy density by weight. The fuel cell is also more efficient than an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine is said to be 20-30% efficient, while the fuel cell is 35-45% efficient (some even higher) (not accounting for losses in the actual production of hydrogen, which would result in an overall efficiency of about 25%) and together with the electric motor and controller, the drive train overall efficiency approaches 24% with low idling losses.

hydrogen is not a source of energy...only a carrier of energy...if u knew what that means u would know what a moron u r...

we will run out of oil...we use up the coal and then we r fucked...unless alien technology...CRUSHED...

Sorry to disappoint you dipshit, but you have (as usual) no fucking idea what you're talking about.
