Whether you worry about man-made global warming due to the burning of fossil fuels, or not, you have to face up to the fact that the supply of crude oil that we convert to petrol and diesel is finite, and the time when it will no longer be possible to match supply with demand is not so far away. Projections vary, but even the most optimistic do not predict much more than 20 years. For this reason we need to start looking very seriously at ways we can fuel our vehicles in a post-crude-oil future. Hydrogen is a popular option, but is it a realistic one? Don't the Brazilians run their cars on alcohol? Is that a strategy we could apply world wide? And what about battery-powered vehicles? Is that just for golf carts? The answer, as it turns out, is not to go for a single option, rather we will have to employ a combination of some of these technologies to keep us on the road.
