"What's going to happen as we start running out of cheap gas to guzzle?"

I don't know, we'll walk? Public transportation? Bikes maybe? Skipping, even. Skipping will ensue and it will be the end of the world.

Yeah, we've been "running out of fossil fuels" since my Dad was a kid. My dad is 48. Are we going to run out eventually? Quite likely. Are there alternatives? Uh, duh. There will be a gradual shift to other sources of energy, but it's not like it's going to happen tomorrow or something.

You can use cow-shit as fuel. I know that much.

Those wacky south americans use a form of alcohol as vehicular forward proplusion juice.

Or we could do like they do on the Flintstones.

In New Zealand, they teach skipping (you know, with ropes) as a form of PE. True fact.

They do it in the U.S. as well, at least in elementary school.

Let's hope that they will sell a conversion kit so that we can convert our own cars to whatever the new source of fuel will be (most likely hydrogen). My Sentra has just 11,000 miles on it (all put on in the one year of ownership, *sniff* they grow up so fast...) and I hope to put on many more.

How much would a conversion kit cost aswell? I'm sensing a boom in car companies and engine installers takings.
