no, im talking about wind/biofuel/any sort of alternative-fueled car. a few years ago a dutch group formulated a plan to generate massive amounts of electricity by harnessing the energy where salt-water meets freshwater at the mouth of a river (im pretty hazy on the details, i read it a long time ago)
theres enough wind in west texas alone to meet 40% of america's energy needs
the problem is fossil fuels are cheap, the infrastructure is in place, and certain parties dont want the gravy train to end, so they just shut down people who come in with new ideas (i.e the Tucker automobile, the steam powered car)
