I already drive one. so where's the Damn E85 station?
Hydrogen : is a pipe dream, to expensive to produce and no infrastructure in place.
E85 : is a great idea and the gas stations can be converted with little expense. However, to grow enough corn to fuel all the cars in the US would take most if not all of our croplands and farmers leaving us with no food and very dependant on good weather and crops. (they're making progress with switch grass witch would take up less land than corn and be more drought resistant.)
I believe the answer won't come from just 1 place. the infrastrure is already in place for solar/hydro/wind power to charge hybrid cars and if those hybrids burn E-85 or Bio disel we will have fueled up cheaply, cleanly, and w/o foreign dependence.
