There is growing evidence that oil, can be replaced by other fuels, without harming the environment, whilst helping economies dependent on importing oil.
Chicken waste, palm oil or wood gas are three viable alternatives to oil, which millions of car owners around the world are now using.
1.
Chicken Waste In the early 1970's at the height of the oil crisis in Europe, as millions of car owners queued for high priced petrol, a retired inventor Harold Bate would drive past them smiling- The reason his car ran on chicken manure.
Over forty years later, and in a world were oil is more precious and available less than four decades again, many car owners have purchased the 27 USS device that converts any animal waste into fuel.
An innovation no automaker attempted to use as an engine, yet to hundreds of thousands of car owners- a low cost or virtually free alternative to a visit to a local petrol station.
2.
Palm Oil Brazil has established itself as one of the growing BRIIC countries in 2011, and over 200.
000car owners use "flexi-engines.
" These engines run on petrol or a cheaper alternative- locally produced palm oil.
Flexi engine cars cost the same as an average car, but palm oil is much cheaper to buy then petrol.
Tropical countries which naturally grow this valuable commodity, could solve the high cost of importing costly oil, by switching over to "flexi engine" cars.
3.
Wood Gas In the 1940's many cars resorted to using a converter to create a viable alternative to the lack of petrol- Wood- Gas.
Many people around the world with large areas of land, often use a more modern converter to fuel their transportation, rather than oil.
The conversion is inexpensive, and a small piece of wood can run for over 50 to 100 kilometers, using this converter.
Many independent experts say that our dependence on fossil fuels is leading to the economic, and environmental problems we face today.
There are alternatives out there, and many date back well before the computer was invented, but our auto manufactures continue to ignore this technology.
We may be dependent on a resource that in reality can easily be replaced, by cheaper and more sustainable alternatives, and to individual car owners - the converters needed are available online.
