If we ever find a fuel that is as transportable and "energy-dense" as gasoline, we should try that - but - fat chance. | |

| BTW - the other day Alan Greenspan mentioned a fuel source that until then, I'd never heard of - some kind of fuel crystal that forms on the bottom of seabeds. If we could effectively use it, we could nearly eliminate our need for foreign oil. Of course, I've always believed if we could only cleanly use the coal we have - most of the deposits in the whole *world* are here, in the U.S. - we'd be off the Middle East welfare list. |

http://www.finfacts.com/irelandbusin...10001224.shtml "Natural gas hydrates". Interesting stuff. (I'm guessing that you're enough of a Trekkie to know that "tri-lithium" was never a *source* of energy in Trek, although it frequently implied it). | |
