Guest hitoallusa Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 I wonder how far we can go in terms of technology.. I think it's limitless. That's what I like about people.. Especially children... They can grow up to do such great things.. Does anyone want to raise kids with me? http://news.yahoo.com/bioengineered-bacteria-pump-fuel-cars-152840053.html Quote
Members JKane Posted August 27, 2012 Members Posted August 27, 2012 I can't help but be jaded on how slow stuff like this moves! There's been chatter about bio-engineered fuels and fuels from stuff like switchgrass for years and years, yet B20 (Diesel with only 20% bio-fuel, like from soybeans) isn't even in widespread use! Talk of graphine batteries and supercacitors for electric cars, yet the average Prius is still using ancient Nickle Metal Hydride batteries! At best, in electric cars, we're finally getting into a two steps forward for one step back (Fisker...) situation--which is better than standing still, but why is progress so slow?! And that's when the OIL INDUSTRY isn't sabotaging progress with bullshit about the Hydrogen RED HERRING! Quote
