We're currently seven years from the year 2015, and I don't think I'm the only one who checks Popular Mechanics every month just to see if Mr. Fusion has been invented yet.
Don't get me wrong. I love the idea of ethanol. I think that deciding whether we want to eat our food or convert it into energy for our automobiles could actually become a healthy daily ethical debate.
"Daddy? I'm starving..."
"I know. But you've got a soccer game to win. Let's hop in the Hummer and kick some ass."
I also really like that none of the alternatives to fossil fuels includes an infinite resource like the sun or wind. It's genius. It's like someone said, "Yeah, those ideas are pretty good, but they're not evil enough. Let's all think of ways to charge people to drive their cars while simultaneously melting down the polar ice caps. We'll meet back here after lunch. Oh, and there's no corn in the cafeteria today."
Yeah. It's times like these that I wish I was a Republican. In the meantime, I think we need a biofuel that's a little less bio and a little more bi. Biproductfuel. Where's Doc Brown when we need him?
