My method of personal transport runs on carbohydrates. Mostly curries and pasta.

I should imagine that the emissions resulting from that fuel is even worse to the environment than T-Bone's V8.

okay, we got this:


but what about this?

but what about this?

Thats a boat.

Can I have an intelligent answer to this for a change?

[Turambar]

Well perhaps if you want an intelligent answer you should ask an intelligent question. What exactly are you asking? As far as I see my answer was a perfectly adaquate response to your question. A stupid answer would have been "wibble".

No sails, so what does it run on?
steam ? some kind of biofuel? nuclear?
It´s better than airplane transport but what are you getting at? :-?

I bet that boat's a hell of a lot more efficient than most cars!

At last we got T-Bone for an intelligent response :-)
I also think that boat is a hell of a lot more efficient than most cars (especially American ones), BUT... it still consumes a hell of a lot more energy than can produced by any durable energy resource methinks, plus, except from biogas, all durable energy resources deliver electricity and I can't imagine any electricity-driven motor that is powerfull enough for such a ship.

Greetings,

Hmmm, what about those trailers inside the tanker. Goodness, that could take alot of electricity to haul all of those crates! Imagine, the inside of those trailers are a bunch of Amiga's waiting to be delivered to us. Imagine how long it would take to deliver them all on our door steps if electricity is needed? A month or more i believe. Mega watts of power is needed too. I'd say nuclear for the ship and BIO-Diesel for truck haulers. I remember the saying, HAULERS are the lifeblood of the city.

Regards,

Not necessary - we already did:

We at Ford developed the hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE) as an interim solution to generate already today an demand for hydrogen fuel and to build up an supply net.

We presented this technique to German Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder on 13th of July 2004 and are currently testing it in a Ford Focus C-Max Prototype:
