Alternative fuel and technologies: Hybrids and E85 issues question?

Did you know that you can save fuel and run your car on water

I am frustrated with the speechifying and politics !
Does all on the hybrid and E85 bandwagon be with you the following?? Observations?? Constructive observations!
Hybirds Reside in a premium over a akin gasoline engine. Antithetical any benefit in fuel mpg gained.
Hybrids have many more batteries made of precious metals lead and nickel not to bring up acid, adding consequence to the vehicle and making serious disposal, ( hazardous equipment) repair and substitution issues.
Hybrids Don’t get somewhere near the EPA estimates in mileage.
Ethanol Causes MPG to drop 20-30 %.Ethanol has less energy ( in BTU’s) then gasoline. Physics
Ethanol Absorbs fill up and is biting. This makes massive Storage space space and transportation issues.( Even if E85 cars are designed for this).
Ethanol Is very tiresome to make yield much more so then gasoline.
Oh, and Bio-diesel is even of poorer quality then any of the privileged than.

I agree with all of your points!
First we need to store up more – better public transportation.
More car pooling and life more efficient with our trips.
I’d like to know more about fuel cells.
Hybrid cars are just a band aid they don’t cure the problem.
E-85 – How much cash (or oil)are we reduction? It uses alot more energy and cash to yield this fuel – and ultimitely by using corn we are compelling food away from public who are starving (not green!)
Don’t get pulled in by all the gasping up-up marketing!
It is frustrating, but except you can come up with something better that will not end the ozone, you may as well start riding your bike. It cannot be flat overnight in generous leaps and bounds (it would end the state). So modest steps headed for the closing goal is the way to go. Here are many of us that are crafty and effective on uncommon hybrid vehicles, but the administer is disheartening and pricey, and yes, frustrating. How you can get the dishonest politicians out of DC, and get “Green Friendly” Government into DC is additional than me. So I choose to ride the bike a couple of days a week and take gripping potential mass transit a couple more, and then I blow it by driving my Housing to the store to get a gallon of milk. What did you handbook now?
Yes I know about all the privileged than. Have made observations to the same look as yourself.
I see many detramental equipment to the new technologies as yourself.
But, what we need to be looking at is apt self-determining of unknown countries for gas and oil. Here is always inane to be some cost, the question is do we pay more for equipment that are more detrimental such as deadly disposal of batteries, attempt to make equipment like ethanol which are more biting, or send our troops to the midpoint east to struggle for the oil.
It’s a hard extent that Americans are inane to have to make, but the days of low-cost transportation may be in the past.
Oh, bonus equipment to add to your list. Ethanol and Hybrid equipment is Like a log subsidized by our regime, importance the regime is paying public to try these technologies (or to keep prices competitive with gasoline). Gasoline is Like a log TAXED so the regime is being paid cash for gasoline. Don’t reflect that once public get hooked on the new technologies that the regime won’t start exhausting them too!
Now gasoline is subdue the better deal. When gasoline hit $7/gallon, I’ll be looking at the uncommon fuels. :p
