wow that was worded pretty bad haha, i think i tried to reword it and forgot what i was trying to say…

How do I make a batch of alternative fuel from home (I don’t want to do anything fancy, like make a still, or spend a lot of money)

Thank you in advance!

I have already had it into the shop to help me reduce the occasional smoking that it does but I have seen a few people who have converted the vehicle to burn BOTH diesel and veggie oil. Dose anyone know if this alternative fuel will actually reduce my individual emissions? Are there any recourses out there to do the conversion myself? Thanx!!

He basically says if there is no action in the next 30 yrs we are all dead.(I forgot the details) He also says that hydrogen power is not the way but solar energy. Now basically i’m just wondering is he correct on the time frame? Do we only have 30 yrs before its too late?

Higher gas prices to slow down consumption does that buy us any time?
its only high school physics teacher but he seems very intelligent.

As you all know gasoline prices are going up AGAIN and I can smell a gallon gasoline prices right around the corner. Even if the car companies start making nothing but 40 mpg hybrids this will still not solve the problem. While this might improve the environment it won’t improve gas prices since hybrid still rely on gas. If cars become more fuel efficient gas prices will just go through the roof. The people who can’t afford a new hybrid will be hugely affected. Can somebody please tell me why the government can’t come up with a solid alternative fuel to replace gasoline!!!! Is it because the Middle East will suffer when we take away their major export? Something tells me that’s the main reason.
I know everybody is for "lesser government" and doesn’t feel the government should be responsible for this. However, in the situation that we’re in any help from the government would be well-appreciated. Also, when I say "alternative fuel" I’m referring to something that can go in cars that run off gasoline. Either that or something that can run in gasoline cars with a few simple modifications.

I know I can use alternative fuel to save on gas but what is the best method or system? Thanks.

I need a figure for the cost of processing one gallon of gasoline (from the start) and the processing of one gallon of alternative fuel. If you could possibly find me a website that has both (or one, it doesn’t matter) I would really appreciate. The reason I’m asking for a website is solely for the purpose that I need resources. I would also really appreciate it if you could maybe find a site with other alternative fuels/gasoline facts. I thank you so much for all that answer. I really appreciate it.
*write…Sorry I’m a tad scatter brained today.

What is going on with the American government when they are willing to legislate digital tv signal transmission and not an alternative fuel system?

What is wrong with this picture?
I would select hydrogen power and invest the money invested in legislating digital cable (or going to the moon again) into large contracts to an american tech company to deliver a hydrogen fuel cell with mpg and energy to produce requirements to be delivered within 2010. I’d then give a major tax credit to the american auto makers for every unit sold AND another credit to any american consumer. Thus, giving the tech companies, auto makers, and the consumer reason to develop the tech. What’s wrong with the philosophy?

That particular station is far from where I live, so how can we get one in our area? Also, do cars need any modifications for this alternative fuel?
