Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Biodiesel & Alternative Fuels Forum This is a forum to discuss bio-diesel and other kinds of alternative fuels. We think bio-diesel is the next revolution as Hydrogen costs too much to make and putting food (Ethanol) in your tank is not feasible and will cause food prices to skyrocket. What say you on bio-diesel? Should we start this bio-diesel revolution and kick it into high gear?

Hard to say with today's technology but they are getting better and better all the time. Give it a few years and I wouldn't be surprised to see APUs that are either electric charge as you drive type that don't require fuel or hydrogen fuel cell type that you refill at the fuel island with hydrogen. Maybe within our lifetime battery or other alternative technology will replace engines, except maybe the larger stuff like ships and trains.

I wonder how long it would take a swift driver to tear up all those fairings and the fancy hangy-down doodads..
