Yesterday, Obama, once again, touted alternative fuels, such as electricity and natural gas, as the future fuels for our trucks and cars. He then declared gasoline as being a fuel of the past.
Well, there's one big problem with alternative fuels, and that's accessibility. If I have an all electric car, I'm going to be very careful planning any trip because I could easily get stranded with a totally dead battery and no place to plug in. The same is true with natural gas where there's only limited refueling stations throughout the U.S. Mostly private. It will take more than a few billion and many decades to create an adequate recharging/refueling infrastructure that would make Americans comfortable about buying an alternative fueled vehicle. In the meantime, gasoline, Obama's fuel of the past, will do us just fine for the next 100 years or more.
