True, Brazilian biofuels are seasonal, at best. And prices fluctuate with the growing season.

And unlike many countries, Brazil actually has the agricultural capacity to produce its own biofuels.

Nuclear engines are not an answer either. Fissionable materials are a limited natural resource, and fusion is still a distant dream.

Solar is part of the future. But it's still too expensive. Hydroelectrics, Hydrothermic and Geothermic resources need to be developed to redress the balance.

And again, the hydrogen economy is a false one, because you still use other resources to produce hydrogen in usable form.

That "other resources" needed to produce hydrogen, can be nuclear power, in which America has. The key here is for America to eliminate dependence on oil. How can that be false?

As niky said, the materials needed for nuclear fission i.e. uranium and plutonium are already scarce enough as it is, more so than oil. Nuclear fusion will not be viable for at least the foreseeable future. Lugi lang ang US economy kasi mas malaki ang magagastos nila for nuclear energy, not to mention it being downright dangerous. It's not exactly a sustainable energy alternative.

oh crap, i should scrounge up enough cash for a vacation around the world now before the oil peak and plane tickets will triple and quadruple :D

lets clone coconuts! :D

sorry useless ideas hehe

It won't be long before the whole world finally bows down to kiss our nuts!

One thing that needs to be addressed in biodiesel is its solvent quality at 100% blend. It has to be safe enough for the engine so we can finally do away with blending it to regular diesel.

I'm starting to sound like an activist here. Not my style, not my intent. Simply to support alternative fuel lang po. I think I've said to much for my good na. Thanks for hearing me out.

OK, I'm out of here.

and the price should be lower than regular fuel.

For comparison lang: magkano ang virgin coconut oil? diba mga 150-200 per 500 ml? alam ko iba ang coco-biofuel sa virgin coconut oil... but if the virgin coconut oil costs that much, will the price per liter of pure coco-biofuel be far from that price of VCO? kahit kalahati mahal parin.

Eto ang tanong: magagawa ba nila P25.00-P30 per liter ang pump price ng coconut-biofuel?
