    Vote Green and we will start seeing action.

    Let's make the politicians come to the party.

    No chance big oil will ever let these innovations see the light of day.

    It's already too late... Big oil is giving way to the advent of new electric cars. The batteries on these thing will make petrol almost obsolete. Isn't it funny how all cars were already electric until 1921 when the petrol engine came along? Wierd.

    Hi - excellent information. Would you like to add a sixth unusual source of alternative energy to your list? Please check my web site http://home.ktc.com/bdrake/altengy.html

    If we used the all the money from the war and invested it in green energy we would have it by now. Also invest some into spaceships i want to see a hotel on the moon before i die.

    I would kill for a Mr Fusion and a deLoreon. I think it is fascinating how with our energy reserves running low, we will turn to anything for fuel.

    Saltwater Burned into Hydrogen and Oxygen...
    Sorry boys but you can't violate the laws of physics. It has to take more energy to separate the H20, than the energy produced. Otherwise you would not get heat. If it is above 100% efficient it would be a perpetual motion machine. Ain't gonna happen.

    That's why ethanol is a scam to payoff the red state farmers and Republican supporter Archer Daniels Midland.

    It's sad how all of these breakthroughs are being made by the mom n' pop producers and not being picked up by larger corporations with the money to produce this stuff in mass.
    I'm 16 years old and for the longest time I thought that souring gas prices wouldn't affect me by the time I was able to drive because I would be using a cheaper alternative fuel source, but now that I'm well on my way to getting my license, I know that isn't even close to the case.

    The horse ridden carriages soon went out of business, and eventually an alternative fuel source is what consumers will buy and use. It is inevitable. Only a matter of time, and enough people to say enough is enough. They are already tinkering with 4 day work weeks for crying out loud.

    " Sorry boys but you can’t violate the laws of physics." It appears to have been already been done! Look at the experiments with liguid helium and magnetics. If the laws of physics can be manipulated (not broken) think of the possibilities!! I really believe that we can find an alternative fuel source that is right under our noses if we'd think outside the box and keep trying. Yes, there are scams out there and we need to be aware of, and avoid them. One day however, I do believe we'll discover a source of fuel that is both environmentally and economically compatible .

    Travel more than 300 miles for just $3 - amazing! I know it sounds restrictive, but I think stricter rules regarding individual and household recycling should be enforced so we can make use of our waste and save other resources. It's amazing how much we take for granted on a daily basis and when I think of all the people in the world and the daily drain on the planet - it makes my head spin.

    if these are such great sources, why aren't they being sold as fuel

    I was wondering if you could please tell me who wrote this article. I wanted to cite it as a source for a project on alternative energy. Thank you!
