Alternative fuels?

[anus]

With the U.S.A and other countries depending heavily on oil, but with the fear of destroying the environment, what do you think could be a goo alternative fuel?

Before you say corn based Ethanol, consider this:

-Ethanol gets 30% miles less to the gallon than gasoline
-It's more expensive to produce
-It breaks down, so it has to be trucked
-In balance, it doesn't help that much.
-In order for it to be produced, since you have to grow corn, you'd have to depend on the soil, weather, and other factors to grow a lot of corn successfully.
-The prices of a lot of stuff, including soda, fruits and vegetables, beef, poultry, pork, eggs, milk, diapers, and even more stuff that involves corn.

I'd think the best option hydrogen thing (I forgot it's exact name), since it involves combining water and oxygen and the reaction would power the car. I know it's a terrible explanation, but it's something like that.

Isn't hydrogen very flammable? I wouldn't want to be in a car when it sparks or something. It could work though. But I  still stand by solar powered cars. The way of the future.

Also, we'd need three times more farms to grow enough corn to make ethanol for every car in the US.
They have air-powered cars. Let's hope that those become the future. flower;

I believe it's the most explosive thingy-doodle in the world.

An efficient and effective method of solar power would by far be the best option to go with.

Gasoline is also flammable.   The tanks holding the hydrogen are pretty sturdy.

Hydrogen is moreso, I think. You have a point though.

If it wasn't, it wouldn't be a very good fuel.

Hydrogen doesn't work, because the electricity that's needed for electrolysis (a process critical to creating hydrogen fuel cells) would still have to come from somewhere. The clean air problem would be helped, though.

I personally say we take wind-up cars to a whole new level.

Stationary solar cells and wind powered generators can do that.

What about bio diesel?

Look, all we need is a perpetual motion device and the problem is solved. Is that so hard?

Yes, there are some laws of thermodynamics.

HELLO WE AM BE STEORN
LOOK WE'RE SERIOUS ABOUT THIS WE PROMISE IT WORKS
IT JUST HAS SOME PROBLEMS WITH FRICTION AND NOT WORKING

That explains my C grade in Physics

I swear it was working earlier."
