Will petrol ever become redundant? Will they ever actually find a way to replace it? We can ship a man to the moon but cannot find proper alternative fuels! what do you think?

    They have found MANY alternative fuels but they can't exactly be taxed like oil can......

    Think about it and what I am getting at, is true. They charge us congestion charge, road tax based on emissions and low emission zone charges in london when at the end of the day, If you switch to Ethanol (natural alcohol from hops n barley) that was proven by Saab motor company to propel a domestic vehicle ALOT faster then petrol, there would be no emission taxes and no higher road taxes as there would be no EXCUSE to bump it up.
