I forget which major magazine it was but it made a point to say that american resources are tapped from what we already produce. Maybe we're operating at peak* with the exception of bio fuels and natural gas. I believe 'change' will move swiftly because it has to, we can't afford to stunt a stimulus that is meant to propel our energy polices (not to mention economic policies) into the new century.

I don't think the government necessarily needs control of some of these industries (whether it feels compelled to do so temporarily or as a part of a newly elected 'socialized medicine.')

however, I think the key (again I don't possess degrees to say this, and this is my opinion:) not just transparency but separating these dying industries from the health of our economy. If the car industry isn't making us money in this crisis, why should we save it? nostalgia for the automobile??

Unconventional energy conversion systems are under development that may prove to be tapping a never previously commercialized, renewable, abundant source of energy. These revolutionary new energy conversion devices are inherently cost-competitive. They can make practical cars, trucks and buses that need no engines, banks of batteries, or any variety of conventional fuel or recharge.

Advanced designs are capable of producing electricity on a self-sustaining basis. Some devices without moving parts are comparable to an inexhaustible battery.

A generator we are developing is expected to generate sufficient power to demonstrate replacement of the plug needed by a plug-in hybrid car. This will be a harbinger of automobiles that need no conventional fuel. With normal progress, a prototype new energy conversion system is anticipated to replace an automobile engine within three years. That goal might be achieved more rapidly if development involves four teams of engineers and technicians working on a 24/7 basis. The prototype will open a path to mass production of an entirely new variety of automotive power plant. Electric vehicles powered by these technologies will never require conventional fuel or recharge.

The auto industry may then be surprisingly busy making fuel-free cars and trucks.
