This is just a food for thought article.

What do you guys think the future holds? Some people think that at some point in the future every car will be converted to run on pure electricity? Others think Compressed Natural Gas will fuel the future cars/trucks, and some even speculate Hydrogen will come into play.

My brother in law is a chief engineer that is working with a commercial company that is refining Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) systems for Automotive usage. Now he could only tell me so much about this, but he said that he speculates CNG will play a major role in the future of automotive energy.

I understand the need to wean ourselves off of being totally Oil dependent as Oil is a limited supply resource. But what I don't understand is why is everyone so focused on finding a single replacement for Gasoline/Diesel? Why not work on making numerous fuels more mainstream in the automotive world? I'm no economist but the simple economics of it are that if 20% of cars and trucks ran on Gasoline, 20% on Diesel 20% on CNG 20% Electric Powered and 20% Hydrogen of course that is just an example of what could be. But in theory wouldn't that drive the price of each down? As it stands right now the WHOLE world relays mostly on Oil for their transportation wants/needs I can understand how this would drive the price of gas and diesel threw the roof, not just for us in America but all over the world. If all countries...Or even just America could adapt using other fuels ALONGSIDE Gasoline and Diesel does it not stand to reason the price of each would go down simply because the demand for each of them would be divided between the others?

For the record I think man made global warming is total BS and nothing more than a poltical tool that can be used by greedy politicians.
