I really hope he doesn't push for the stupid ethenol that everyone seems to think is the answer.  It's already been proven to cost more energy to make than it produces.  Stupid marketing people pushing inefficient technologies.  :angry:

The problem with ethanol is that it, like oil, produces CO2, which is the culprit of the greenhouse effect. Renewablility is only one factor. As far as I'm concerned, forget any fuel that produces CO2.

The greenhouse effect is real and is a very bad thing.


Addon:

Here's my idea. Develop ways to integrate solar panels into cars (with batteries that can be charged via conventional means as a backup.) From there, use the electricity to preform electrolysis on water to form hydrogen and oxygen, and use the hydrogen as fuel for the car itself.

In case you didnt catch that; you put water in the gas tank, gather energy from the sun to create the hydrogen fuel, burn that, and water comes out of the tailpipe.
