The real problem here is found in human behaviors - These fucking SUV twats that floor it at every green light, one ignorant piece of shit assclown sitting in an SUV all by him / herself because they feel they are safer in it at the cost of everyone around them. Dirtbag parents who buy things based on their precious little snotbag offspring being so pseudo-important that they need "big boy gear".
We need to get real and let the truckers have the fucking gas. We can work on something else - such as nuclear or wind power (One wind turbine in a town will take care of all that town's electric car needs) for our personal machines. Keep a project car around for reduced use throughout the week.
Then we drill domestic lands for domestically kept oils. Reduced production for american use in shipping and production - Processing and pumping those oils at a reduced rate to maintain some semblance to sustainability. Keep gas prices around $3 a gallon or inflation adjust.
There. Solution found. And no zeropoint physics or tin foil hats necessary.
The problem with this, as well as other solutions, is that there is no money to be found in answers. Wind power is better for us, but doesn't put the money in pockets that ethanol lies do. Nuclear requires a long (LONG) term commitment in maintainance with reduced money coming in. You're asking about 100,000 executives to take a pay cut. This is a major problem in ALL of these money saving devices. The only solution to that is that we take to the streets with flaming torches and eat them.
So in conclusion and review, The answer is right in front of everyone. A major cultural revolution. This will only happen with a World playing field war against the middle east, against Islam and against tyranny. Then a civil war on the US homefront like Russia is so used to - a homegrown riot where the entire bored, cold, and hungry populace takes to the streets. We'll never do it fat and happy.
