Re: Salt Water Fuel powers a Stirling engine
No way am I going to make quotes from there.
The countries are actually expecting oil supplies to dwindle in the next 20 years. Knowing our gas consumption, it will be just that long. We don't need to make these the goals for the next 50 years, but the goals for the next 20. What we need to do is to convince the government to start pushing this more. A lot more. They are starting to make ethanol plants, which is one of the first steps. Now they need to push ethanol using vehicles. It will be a slow change. People will be reluctant to go out and willy nilly buy a new car. Especially if they just bought a new one. But what we can do is convince the government to let us trade in gas hogging cars for new ethanol cars. The problem with that is that it will hurt our economy.
It will be a slow complicated change, but that's all the more reason we need to start now.
For now, since it is the summer, there is no reason for many people who live in the city to just ride their bikes or walk all of the time. My friends live 10 miles out of town and they still ride their bikes in all the time. There is no reason for the government to push more to people to ride their bikes and walk around town. Here in Indiana, I see hardly any rail trails. Even when I do, they aren't to long. Heck, I wouldn't mind a rail trail from here in Huntington all the way up to Fort Wayne, I would ride that all the time. Heck, they could connect all of our counties together. You almost can go anywhere from Huntington without going out on a highway. I have ridden along highways on my bike. I always hate doing so. I can guarantee that rail trails do get people out of the cars and and more active. I'm just shocked they don't push those more in some areas.
Well, now I feel like writing a letter or two to our mayor and governor.
