Lay off a few million more state and county government gobblers of federal pork. Oil and fuel prices will go down even more.

Ahh yes you say the words close to my heart, gassification.
There are many ways to achieve that; i.e. coal, but the one that got my heart is through wood gas or even agriculture wastes by biomass or pellets.
Most of your Scandinavian countries ran their cars, trucks,busses, off of wood gas through gassification during WWIi.

WOW. I just had a “Willie Green Happy Choo Choo Thread” flashback!

Ha! Indeed!

I have seen green crude oil from the Bakken and from the Ratcliffe Formation in the Beaver Lodge Field in North Dakota.

“Range of 50 miles, husband drives a bit farther than that to get to Houston! I guess he could WALK!~ LOL”

None of the battery electric vehicles being marketed today have just 50 miles of range, the low end is around 70 or 80. You might be thinking of the plug-in hybrid Chevy Volt, which lets you drive your first 40 miles on electric before it switches over to gasoline for another 340 miles of range.

It is basically two cars in one: when the battery runs out it automatically turns into a regular gasoline car.

(oh, and all the scary headlines about Chevy Volt fires turned out to be baloney)

Uhh... that was me. My car was this gold flake, except for the fake spare tire hump, which was always covered in soot. Car began to smell like diesel.

People are totally off the beam to criticize gasoline. It burns clean, you get a huge amount of power out of it relative to everything else, its portable. I think I will get an electric car to drive around in West Texas. What do you do when your batteries run down betwen Pecos and Monahans? With gasoline, just bring a 5 gallon jug.

Its ridiculous. There is probably a place for alternative fuels, but not really where we live in the States.

Thorium is not moving forward for political, not technical reasons. China and India are moving ahead. India has to start with a Fast Breeder reactor in order to set up the Thorium fuel cycle, so it with take another decade or more.

China is wanting to develop their own proprietary liquid fluoride design. There is an intersting article at http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/Current-and-Future-Generation/thorium/

We have more than enough agriculture waste alone in this country to satisfy the demand for bio fuels gassification wood pellets or larger sized pellets.
Actually it was the Greenie Meannies environmentalist movement that co popped the bio fuel movement.
They were not the ones who was invented the bio fuel movement, thank the farmers and those who spent the time to their shops or garages trying to invent something many years ago.
