Dan Stafford
There's a reason why I'm bringing up hybrid cars, Stirling engines, and algal bio-fuels that mimic gasoline enough that we don't have to change existing fuel infrastructure. The Chevy Volt already uses an electric motor to cruise. It's gas motor just runs a generator to charge batteries. Now, all internal combustion engines dump EIGHTY PERCENT OF THE ENERGY THEY MAKE AS "EXCESS HEAT". Stirling engines eat heat from any source. Small gas engine running a generator, a couple of small Stirlings running generators, and now all of a sudden, you're using 50-70% of the energy in gasoline to run an electric motor and batteries...off algae-gas. Get on it, Ford & GM!!!
