Gasoline as an alternative...

Thats the day I am waiting to see. A thought provoking presentation with lots of details by Vinod Khosla at one of the google tech talks.



I have always been environmental conscious to the extent I could. This discussion on E85 fuel as mainstream energy for automobiles is very timely and hopefully the movers and shakers at Washington takes it seriously. It is high time that people in this country are made aware of the crisis that they are in. This presentation delves into some number crunching which should convince any sane person that E85 should be the liquid fueling our cars.

My wife is a big fan of SUVs and I am trying to talk her out of it just because of its inherrent gas guzzling capability. I personally believe, for starters, all SUVs should be banned from HOV lanes during peak hours on weekdays. If E85 takes off, I may actually stop doing that and get her the dream machine after all.

Thanks to ChennaiCentral for the link.
