Great Scott , McFly!! The Gasoline Solution for the 21st Century - Mr. Fusion ??



Since Hurricane Katrina, we've all been questioning our dependence on foreign oil, and we've tried to come up with long term solutions for the future. Is it more production? Ethanol? Hydrogen? Well, we've had the answer since 1985, and I recently rediscovered it during a TBS Movie Marathon........ It is Mr. Fusion.

Yep, Old Doc Brown's Home Energy Reactor , which is actually an old Krups coffeemaker, runs off of ordinary trash, yet produces the necessary 1.21 gigawatts to run a DeLorean through time. Yes, I said 1.21 GIGAWATTS!!! How much power is that? As Doc Brown says, " When this baby hits 88MPH, you're gonna see soem serious S**t!". Word is Mahmoud Ahmedinejad is trying to get his hands on one as we speak.....

Okay, I'm kidding here.. But we do need to start somewhere to reduce our dependence on Middle Eastern oil. If you want a low cost, sensible plan to reduce our need just a little, without having to retrofit your car or buy a new one, stay tuned............

hey, why not ... sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

now that fuel prices are where they're at, maybe things will reach the point where we're going to take the matter seriously.

i just wish this idea had occurred to people sooner, so we wouldn't be going through the rough spot we're going to be dealing with for at least another decade.
