Brikk, noone had said that the other alt-fuels are not viable alternatives to oil. Only that the EASIEST temporary change that would produce the LEAST amount of disruption is the increased use of ETHANOL. When 'Hydrogen cars' are avilable widespread and have a LARGE distibution network THEN I will agree that it will provide more benefit. All the visionary pie-in-the-sky solutions do us NO GOOD if they can't be implemented quickly or effectively for the majority of the US comsumers. Of course I'm just one dumb american who also has a short 'lifespan' on IHUB. LOL......MHO - RTB
