I have seen the " Alternatives to Fossil Fueled Engine/Generators ", before, but to me it looked like a guess work mixed with facts.
I liked the looks of the alternative of using a 36 V electrical arc to convert a water/sugar solution to H2 and CO and running it through a liquid suspended catalyst. This was presented on this list when we were back on the yahoo list, but, for the life of me, since my computer crash and moving to the wwia list, I have not been able to find the actual posting in the archives or remember who posted it ( Grrrrr.... ). I always liked the look of SOFCs ( Solid Oxide Fuel Cells ) for their flexibility of fuel use and the high temperature of operation for co-generation, use for hot water or building heat.
