I agree! I was watching Discovery's Future Car and thought..."geez, pick one technology and let's go!!!" Not that simple, though, not by a long shot. Someday the future will get here, but expect a lot of drama along the way.

Unfortunately, what they do not tell you is how much energy it took to create the phenomenon. And that is where things fall apart for almost all alternative fuel technologies.

The 2008 MCS has a Cold Fusion engine, doesn't it?

Even if it worked flawlessly, big oil and the gov't would bury it
