Biodiesel 
"Biodiesel is a clean-burning fuel made from renewable fats & oils Primarily made from soybean oil.  Reduces practically all regulated emissions & even smells pretty good. Kind of smells like popcorn or french fries  when burned in diesel engines.  Many trucks already use it worldwide. Time for America to catch up.

BP Solar BP, formerly British Petroleum, is becoming "Beyond Petroleum". BP has been moving in the direction of renewable & alternative fuels for years & is paving the way for other big oil companies to wake up to the fact that renewables are good news & good business. Keep an eye on BP as they move toward brining hydrogen powered automobile infrastructure to the planet. However, we must stay on top of BP to make sure they are not just greenwashing...

Hydrogen Fuel Cells
No moving parts & no pollution. Sound too good to be true, well it exists. What we need next is the leadership to transform to a hydrogen economy before we break whats left of the sky & burn ourselves right off the planet. Don't believe the hype from the oil barrons; believe the scientists. Global warming is a reality. Just as real as that huge hole we've ripped in the ozone.
