They are valued at millions, they were so hard to make, it has to detect wind and make sure it stays in the air, it goes for 20 instead of 5, and others were familliar with it also

I think it will never be a mode of transport and only a select few will have one. They are too inpracticle and especially with fuel prices rising they will be too expensive to oparate in 15 - 20 years when the technology will be refined enough to be practicle. We will have pritty much exhausted alll of our oil and will all be using some sort of renewable energy.

Lemon, there is still a lot of oil on the planet. We're not as close to the bottom of the well as it may sound, it's just that most wells have not yet been tapped. Futhermore, I recently read in a science magazine that about half of all mined coal is low-energy "junk" coal that is unable to be used in power plants and must be tossed out. However, though a new manufacturing process, this "junk coal" can be turned into gasoline.

Yeh but youd need a re-build, so it can run on other fuels... just like u cant run and ultra hi premium on diesel, and the people that get oil will have to stop before the world completely runs out

No, unless I'm greatly mistaken, this process would turn the "junk" coal into ordinary gasoline. If I am, please point me to an article mentioning that a different engine would be necessary, because so far I haven't been able to find one (although this article is interesting). And besides, one would have to re-build the internal combustion engine to switch to a different fuel besides gasoline, anyway. It's not an easy process.

I was trying to say that, you would need to change your motor to be able to run off the different fuel. But if they can turn junk coal into deisel and premium 91 that wood be good, but another crisis wood be right around the corner.

If they cant re-make the stuff cars run on today, all the cars will need to be edited, and thats alot of cars... I wonder if people are actualy thinking of this?

Coal to gasoline manufacturing processes would give us enough gasoline to last many decades. Half of all mined coal is thrown out because it is low-energy coal that cannot be used in power plants. Imagine - half of all the coal ever minded for power plants. That's a lot of chemical energy.

And yes, conversion would be a nearly impossible process, unless the government forced it by either heavily taxing gasoline (like they're not already) or giving big tax benefits to those who own a converted vehicle.
