Either one of those solutions would take the gleam off the spear that oil holds steady fast to our bellies. At least wedge it out a good ways.

We should start investing into compressed air vehicles, cars that run on highly compressed tubes of carbon. Or Could go with metallic nuclear reactive propulsion in vehicles by using say maybe aluminum isotopes which can be harvested in space then brought down to earth to be refined and placed at like maybe Best Buy, they would probably last longer then an electric cars battery, but we would need layers of radioactive suits while we drive,lol and figure out how to fly all the way past mars without taking forever to get back...hum could use robots... Or a mixture of these car models. Say maybe a steam vehicle, one that uses an electrical battery similar to the electric cars battery that's only purpose is to raise the temperature of a small central heated core to really hot temperature and then we could insert solidified carbon dioxide to cool the core and as the steam pumps out it could motorize the car. Instead of having to replace the battery say every 5 years it would be every 15 or 20. In any case we should be doing something instead of trying to figure out where to get oil next cuz the oil thing is just not working and an entire nation is being pulled into awkward positions by the belly button, just need to find some lobbying shoes and the right pairs of ears.
