There's nothing wrong with trying to help the environment or conserve energy, 
but, as you mention, it's silly to have a coal fired generator compressing 
air for a car, or for that matter all sorts of farm equipment and irrigation 
equipment growing corn to make ethanol.

My proposed solution hasn't changed since I first stated it in the 1973 oil 
embargo -- Nuclear fusion. Lots of clean energy, and as far as I know, few or 
no radioactive byproducts.

But of course, back in 1973, everyone I told that to said "Steve, grow up, it 
would take 30 years to get usable fusion.

Well, it's 34 years later, and our choices are still coal, oil, paying a 
fortune for solar, wind or water based energy, or burying our fission 
byproducts under Nevada, or sending em to outer space. We've come a long way, 
baby!

By the way, if we got workable fusion, do you think that might change our 
negotiating position with the OPEC countries? They can eat their oil, because 
they sure won't get any of our corn.

HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!
