Does this technology currently exist in an economically viable form? Well, no. Nor is there any reasonable expectation that such alternatives will emerge anytime soon (well, there's biofuels. Oh. Wait.) So I have to wonder: what the fuck are you talking about, man?"My opinion is, as the price of fuel goes up, it will change the technology of what we're driving, whether it's hydrogen or solar-powered or electrical-powered vehicles, which I think is most likely. That's the weakness of the Peak Oil projections.
"I think the bottom line is, we'll all be driving something. So you just can't ignore the infrastructure."
That a paid in full member of the ruling class should buy into such technotriumphalist jabber is no real surprise, but in terms of public policy, this is faith-based shit right here. It's one thing to claim that, in the future we will all be conveyed to and fro by magic, four-leaf clover-eating winged unicorns, quite another to implement a massive publicly funded four leaf clover planting campaign. Or something.
