Booz Cars

Interesting article on gasoline/alcohol mix fuels with a nice explanation on why hydrogen is not feasible.

While the author explains the "power shortage" of hydrogen he does not give a similar comparison to ethanol/methanol, nor does he explain the energy consumption needed to produce these fuels. I'd like to see that topic covered before jumping on the booz-fuel bandwagon.

Also, what happens when alcohol-mixed fuels begin to drive down the price of petroleum? It doesn't take a huge drop before the cost to produce the alcohol becomes impractical.

I'd rather see lots more drilling and fast-tracking of nuclear plants.
