The simple solution is hydrogen. The hard part is figuring out how to get the hydrogen.

do you actually know what you are talking about with respect to taxes or you simply talking? Because it's not quite like you say it is...

Us stop whining we can whinge all we want at our own government, the USA is only in iraq for two reason's one is to set up democracy and one is to secure thier own countrys future oil supply simple as.
As for us its now about 96p a litre some of yours has hit $3 a gallon, and thats high, but your country has big powerful 4 5 and 6 litre cars, did it not occour to you that a 2.0litre car would be more cost effective? heck why do you need a 6 litre V8 engine in your car, i can understand if you were in germany but come on america you dont need that, your fuel cost's would be alot lower if you toned down your engines. The rover i have eats fuel too 2.7 litres and i tell you something else it beets the ford mustan 4.6 litre hands down, so having all that under the bonet realy isnt nessasery.

Lock all enviromentalists in the brig so they don't complain while the Ethanol production chain is vastly expanded, and you got yourself cheap fuel. Tough to start an Ethanol engine in the Winter, you'll also need a large crop area, but no more need for pricy gas at the pump.
Whine all you want, everytime you fill your tank with gas you're sponsoring tyrannical dictatorships here and there, everytime the fuel price is high you are sponsoring them even more. Why?! Set up Democracy at Oil extracting nations today, stop filling the tank with gas. By the way, V8's run great on racing Ethanol. ![]()

I guess the President has relaxed the "environmental restrictions". So that does some good in places like Iowa, but doesn't mean squat for California (who has it's own state laws governing blends).
Didn't he "relax" them back when Hurrican Katrina went through? |

Every politician here in the US whether Democrat or Republican is currently demagoguing this issue to death. Trying to come up with ways to blunt the spike in prices so as to curry favor with voters.
Wanna actually encourage conservation? Let the price continue to go up. Nothing impacts consumer behavior like taking it in the wallet. If the price goes too high people will change their driving habits and cut back on their use and eventually that'll result in a glut on the market causing the price to come back down. But when the govenment steps in and starts monkeying with the system for a few short term gains...it usually creates more problems than it solves.

the problem with hydrogen cars is mass produced they cost a LOT of money.
=== I reckon all technology is there, just waiting for the 'right' time to surface. I tell you, till there's oil to sell, there are petrol engines to burn it. Car companies and oil producers may be don't have much to gain from spening billions into R&D for alternative fuel when they can milk you for another 30-40 years on gas eating engine. ![]() |

One problem though - I think the research into seperating hydrogen hasn't been given the attention to detail that other technologies have. A lot has changed since the Hindenbergs where flying the world however. All it takes is $$$ and the worlds energy needs will forever be satisfied. -S |
