The need for oil is disappearing. Well, that's good news seeing as it was going to run out soon anyway.

Alhamdulillah, his blessings are many. :)

If a country like Brazil can function fine using ethanol, why can't the U.S.? I realize our consumption is larger, but surely ethanol can be used to drastically limit the amount of oil the U.S. needs to refine. I know there is some concern now that ethanol may be worse for humans than gas fumes, but its a start.

What is crazy is that many cars that have been built since 2001 can already run on ethanol based fuel, all we need are the gas stations to use it

True, that would not happen unless the gasoline boys were not already diverting their attention to non-petroleum energy. that should be an indication as to what areas the investors are putting their money.

It most definitely is a very good indicator. Personally I am hoping for a hydrogen break thru to make it cheaper. Seems like the best alternative to me, they say it is not only extremely quiet but it also doesnt lose very much power compared to todays gas powered. It is going to be a while I am sure, but the major car companies are already having prototypes put out. I just hope in 15 or 20 years they can get the price down and we wont have to pay $3 a gallon for gas and maybe san francisco and los angles ever looming cloud will clear up

I found that the best indicators are what developments the major companies are putting the greatest emphasis on. Typically from the time an idea has gone from the planning stage to actual production is about 5 years. So if a company has begun diverting resources into an area it is something they have decided was feasible a few years ago and now it is time to make the physical changes.

Car manufacturers and gasoline producers work very close together.

some of you may remember when the change was made from leaded to unleaded gasoline. For the unleaded cars to sell there had to be an adequate supply of unleaded gasoline.

so it is with the ethanol production, right now it looks like the gasoline people are diverting sufficient investment from gasoline production to ethanol production to make purely ethanol powered cars marketable.
