One thing animals can all share is that need to consume and dump the waste. You harness those gasses into a fuel and that's simple unlimited fuel. Maybe we'll turn into the world of mad-max after all.</p> The future is in the Methane! after all gas doesn’t get any more “Natural” than that.

Nuclear power is the only technology available today that we can say for sure has the ability to generate enough electricity at a reasonable cost to phase out fossil fuels.

Combining nuclear with greater use of electric vehicles and the coming algae based fuels gives us a real possibility to get off fossil fuels in the coming decades.

Nearly all consumer trucks are powered in part or wholly by natural gas. The infrastructure is in place for self-serve natural gas. The natural gas gives a boost in performance and emissions of diesel engines. The economics are also positive. The Aussie's firmly state there is no silver bullet to the energy needed to power vehicles. After-market kits are also available to retrofit older engines to burn CNG. Why don't our politicians look around and see what other people have done and are doing?
