Its not just a question of the price at the pump but the cost of the mile. This goes a long way to redress the balance between the cost of petrol and the taxes. Besides by using at a slower rate, perhaps fuel will be available longer. The future won't be a hydrogen economy (I reckon) - it'll be a diesel economy. It's much easier to convert the diesel infrastructure to use non-crude oil based fuel than it is to move to a hydrogen economy. We already run our glider club's vehicles on waste cooking oil from one of the pubs (it does have to be cleaned first - but the 'refining' process uses a tiny fraction of the energy that the fuel gives - and the oil would otherwise just be burned or thrown out if we didn't use it to power our diesel vehicles). -- Dylan Smith, Castletown, Isle of Man Flying: http://www.dylansmith.net Frontier Elite Universe: http://www.alioth.net "Maintain thine airspeed, lest the ground come up and smite thee" |
