Great Alternative Fuel Debate
Popular Mechanics put out a piece (it’s 8 “pages” long) comparing all the alternative fuels, making a case for them, a case against them, and their outlook for the fuels. The alternatives they take a peek out include Ethanol (E85), Methanol (M85), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Biodiesel, Electricity, Hydrogen, and used cooking oil. It’s an easy read and a good to way to get caught up on all the petrol alternatives out there and how viable each one is according to PM.
Oh, don’t miss this comparison chart (PDF).

They tend to put out decent info, I’ll check out the article. I did a report on biodiesel a few years ago for my Environmental Policy class, it was interesting. But my hope is that hydrogen will become more viable…the byproduct is pure drinkable water!
