I'm thinking a welder...tanks...rivets..rams... STEAM POWER! LOL! Seriously though, I've been hitting up the mom & pop eateries in the area for the cooking oil. That and some work on my part...BIODIESEL. Or I could go the easy but expensive way and install a veg-oil system on my truck
With the government involvement in energy-development, subsidies, etc. the only real answer looks like whatever you can do for yourself. Consider the gas tax. If we went to another form of energy it's gonna be taxed too! You pay the federal tax, you pay the state tax, you pay sales tax, so on and so forth. By the time any alternative is developed and ready for mass consumption, it probably won't be any dang cheaper than what we have right now! The crux of the issue is price, not whether we have enough oil! We've all heard how much oil still waits underground..enough to run our worst gas guzzlers every day for a very long time! Admittedly, I have a bad attitude about it... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
