I can dream...can't I?
I dream of world with hybrid vehicles, using diesel engines, with biodiesel as their fuel source:
http://www.biodieselamerica.org/

Green algae and waste veggie oil as the biodiesel source:
http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2004/05/289306.shtml

This would be a "bridge fuel" while even cleaner technologies are developed.

Wouldn't it be nice if we had politicians with the balls to advocate, and run on issues like this?

1. What's sad is
that if we had followed the conservation policies started in the Carter Administration, I really think we might not be on the brink of ecological catastrophe today.

5. Not enough time left
Too bad we need a cultural dream of a better tomorrow and leadership that would put it into action..

But, we have wasted the good years of cheap oil when your dreams might have been possible. Too bad times up!!
