Hydrogen Era

There is a company called Changin World Technoligies that is making crude oil from turkey guts, old tires and other forms of refuse. Virtually any organic material can make a cleaner burning fuel than the type we pump out of the ground. It's cheaper and nearly as non-polluting as Hydrogen.

The title to this thread should have a question mark after it. Hydrogen Era? This may seem a little jumbled, but I'll try to keep it clear.

I have touted the diesel engine as: "Diesels, the cars of the immediate future." This is a tough sell. The GM fiasco with the V8 Oldsmobile diesel is forever ingrained in the minds of American men as proof that diesels don't work?

Myth: Diesels don't start in cold weather.
Myth: Diesels are noisy.
Myth: Diesels smoke.
Myth: Diesels don't accelerate, they gather momentum.
Myth: Diesels are environmently bad.

Along comes Consumers Reports (after years of either ignoring diesels or condemning them) Has a new cover story titled "Fueling the Future," which says that a number of promising alternatives to the conventional, gasoline- powered car are being developed and goes on to list hybrids, diesels and alternative-fuel cars.

The article also refers to how diesels will have less emission problems in 2006 when low-sulphur diesel fuel is introduced.

It says that hydrogen fuel cells are at least a decade away from being a practical alternative.
