Engine Trouble
So I was watching Bill Maher the other night and guest Graydon Carter said something along the lines of (I'm paraphrasing, Mr. C., please forgive me), "The Manhattan project was conceived and executed in three years. Why can we do the same thing and make the internal combustion engine go away?" I've wondered the same thing. Recently The Truth About Cars had two editorials about transmissions (one, two) and Autoblog chimed in as well, but what about the engine? The very thing that keeps us dependent on oil? While fuel cells are a great idea, they are far, far from production... but do they have to be? Why doesn't the U.S. government throw thousands of engineers at the fuel cell problem to make our dependency on foreign oil go from great to nil?
