As I write this there are great advances being made in combustion engine and hybrid auto technology that will set new standards for efficiency, power and carbon emissions. Visit www.rtugroup.com and take a look at the pseudo adiabatic engine technology they have developed. In a nutshell they cut the heat of an engine in half, greatly increased its power and torque, while doubling fuel efficiency and cutting carbon emissions in half. I personally know the patent holder of this technology and he developed it in his shop against all odds. Furthermore, this company has produced a generator powered van and class 8 tractor that gets 6 to 8 times greater fuel efficiency than its diesel powered counterpart. These vehicles are powered by a generator and uses capacitors instead of batteries and has an combustion engine back up. Today in Europe and Japan there is a great deal of interest in this technology. In the US there is very little interest and much opposition. I suspect the European and Japanese interest is tied to the high cost of oil in those areas as well as the EU’s stringent emission standards which are due to go live in the next year or two. Regardless, this is great stuff and I have seen the technology up close and personal in multiple platforms. A technological leap forward is heading our way and it will change the economy and the way we live.

Color me skeptical. If, as you say, great advances are being made, we’re not seeing it here in the U.S. We’re getting scammed left and right by promises that don’t pan out, and ripped off by government subsidies to companies, stolen from our taxes, that end up benefitting foreign nations.

So if the advances happen, more power to you (her-hee). But let’s be fair, and acknowledge the efficiency and worth of gasoline - a proven technology. It’s been unfairly dinged left and right (mostly from the left).
