N.Y. Governor Pushing for Alternate Fuels

Aviran Mordo writes to tell us that the Governor of New York is pushing hard for the widespread availability of both ethanol and biodiesel on the New York State Thruway and 100 more locations around the state. From the article: "Costs and further details of the plan, which Pataki first sketched out in his State of the State address on Wednesday, will not be disclosed until he makes his budget proposal later this month. If the plan is approved by the Legislature, it will give New Yorkers one of the nation's most diverse ranges of fuel choices. Only Minnesota offers an ethanol-rich blend known as E85 at more than 100 stations. Likewise, biodiesel is offered at only a few hundred of the nation's roughly 180,000 stations."

  1. Zero Point Energy by Kada · · Score: -1, Troll

    Who the hell needs alternative fuels when we all live in vast sea of energy, called Zero Point Energy? ZPE is UNLIMITED, NON-TOXIC, and is what CREATES gravity - and is also the sole reason why the universe is expanding. It's also been calculated to possess 110 times more energy than the nuclear reactions within our own sun!

    The governments around the world have known about ZPE for over a century now, thanks to the works of Nikola Tesla. But why hasn't the technology been shared or exploited? It's because the ramifications of FREE ENERGY are immense; in fact, they are so immense, that free energy would, ultimately, destroy all forms of government, the entire money system, and all forms of religion literally overnight.

    If mankind EVER wants to truly be free, nanotechnology and Zero-Point Energy are the ONLY saviors.

    ...and would rather eat the vegetable oil because we cannot go without it's taste, you end up with no excess oil for reuse as a fuel.
