Hell, a few decards ago, some people thought we'd be driving cars with small nuclear reactors that never need fuel... imagine that....

i agree 100% ....but i would call the melting of the freshwater ice @ the North and South poles a HUGE input of fresh water.
we already have an alternate fuel... that can be made from hemp seed into deisel fuel and or out of other vegetables... used in a hybrid vehicle it would be a renewable resource...
they only touched on some strange process of extacting some plentiful mineral substance out of sea water called (now guessing here! as they said it so friggan fast) dutronium? that would be better and even more cost effective than even hydrogen fuel...
or........
if the skin of our cars...the shell/body was super light but extremely strong...say made out of sheets of carbon nano tubes that could also be solar powered(photovolteic)[sp] and have the additional hybrid electric motors too...then we'd have something .
wishfully thinking....
i'm hoping we can all get off the road and take to the air....in our lifetime.
