alternative fuels

So many different alternative fuels that could be the future of our country it’s hard to pick which one has the best chance to be the winner.  Let’s take a look at electric cars for a moment.  This is one of those technologies that has some pretty big drawbacks but a whole lot of support as well, and having a lot of support always gives you at worst a punchers chance.  Drawback number one is the lack of range that we’re able to get out of current generation lithium batteries and drawback number two is how long it takes to recharge batteries.  It’s not as simple as just stopping by a gas station and filling up the batteries in 5 minutes.
