mmkay, so theres this whole new fuel revolution going on right? electricity powered, biofuel, natural gas.it sounds like a good idea at first, but do we really have our priorities straight?
lets think...electricity. thats good, just plug your car in, no waste! wrong. where does electricity come from? coal. coal is one of the dirtiest emissions around. so nix on that idea.
biofuel- thats good! a renuable resource! yes, but why would we use things we could be feeding to the starving nations to power our cars? plus there would be more money in selling your food to the car industry than to the supermarkets. so...either a shortage of food or higher prices to match the fuel prices. nix.
so now natural gas. sure its cheaper and cleaner than normal gas, but before natural gas can be used as a fuel, it must undergo extensive processing to remove almost all materials other than methane. this includes ethanol, elemental sulfur, hydrocarbons and nitrogen. and nitrogen is quite bad for the environment if expelled in large amounts, if it runs into water it will cause an algeal bloom, use up the oxygen supply and kill all the poor fishies! nix.
