But it's anachronistic that we're still be using internal combustion engines powdered by gas - - is there anything else invented in the 1880's that we still use so intensively/exclusively/without significant change? (honest, not rhetorical, qustion here)
Combustion engines, and diesel, have become and continue to develop into very efficient power plants, Barry.
You and I are against the same issue - our government throwing more government at bad government. The gov meddling in the auto industry is a reason why they are in a mess. The Unions swing their vote stick and the politicians jump.
Anyway, oil is not going away any time soon. And Congress along with the environmentalist movement has turned us into a buyer, not a provider of refined petroleum.
I am confident the USA will lead the way in alternative power - we already are - but as long as there is oil to refine, the world will continue to run on black gold.
And we need to return to being a producer and refiner, not a market buyer beholden to our enemies.
I wonder if the environmentalist goons and their Congressional supporters ever stop and think how their agenda contributed to our war in Iraq, and the deaths of our servicemen?

Barry -- with all due respect, the problems with the domestic auto giants have nothing to do with combustion engines.
They build crap, they are overloaded with pensions and health insurance for unionized employees and retirees, and they build crap.
Combustion engines are not the problem.
I agree on no bailout, obviously the free market is telling them they build crap and are overloaded with carry costs.
No bailout - let them die. No one wants to buy them anyway because of their crushing carry costs and debt.
Government - stay the hell away.
PS: Our oil/energy crisis is a political problem, not a natural resource problem. Why did we make Alaska a state to begin with?
Drill baby drill.
