Your horse drawn carriage reminds me that when Al Gore was running for President, I was thinking that we would all be in the rickshaw business by the time he was done with us. Now that I’m pondering this again, perhaps the Postal Service would benefit from the resurrection of the Pony Express.

Of course pixie dust is entirely imaginary. I believe the answer is for the cars and trucks to run on air, which is real.

the United States must shift its cars and trucks entirely off oil to avoid perpetual fluctuations in gas prices

What a strange idea. Stop using something so its price won't fluctuate.

[stayathomemom]

I totally agree!

[cripplecreek]

"The only way to break this cycle of spiking gas prices — the only way to break that cycle for good — is to shift our cars entirely, our cars and trucks, off oil," the president said.

And then we'll be on a cycle of spiking fairy dust prices.

I am perfecting my electrical generator that runs on the electricity it produces. I am gonna be rich beyond my wildest dreams! Not rich from my invention but rich from the $billions Obama puts into my scheme.

Ubama talks about electric cars but ignores how US will provide the required electricity.

In addition, 8-hr recharging would mean mucho down time.

Bottom line, Ubama continues his purposeful destruction of America via Alinsky and Cloward/Piven.

This piece of crap communist Obama has to go . How much more abuse will we take?

I hate liberals/democrats/statists , all of them

[albie]

Impossible. It would be virtually impossible and so cost prohibitive that all the money on earth couldn’t pay for the research, the implementation or especially the upkeep. This country is full of morons.

[PghBaldy]

He is an idiot. He is against fluctuations in prices. Maybe he can protect us from that too/ He just can’t protect us from fluctuations in supply. ;(

[Reeses]

The only viable solutions to this are biofuel (which isn’t workable except maybe for biodiesel) or electric.

The biggest user of diesel in the world is the US Military, and most leaps in technology get their start as US Military orders. No government worker, no matter how smart, is going to solve the biodiesel puzzle. Government jobs always become red tape affirmative 3-day weekend pretend jobs. But give the military enough funding and hire the brightest minds to solve the puzzle and they will. Since 2/3rds of Earth's surface is saltwater the obvious solution is genetically optimized saltwater algae, which is exactly where all the original energy in petroleum came from anyway. The biggest risk though is how to keep such algae from going Kudzu and covering the oceans with a 10 foot deep oil slick and sucking all of the CO2 plant food out of the air.

[I want the USA back]

It’s not about clean energy. It’s about total control.

They dream about seizing the oil companies. But they can’t do it just yet.

[RedBallJet]

He’s still a moron for bowling a 37.
