I always thought bacterial oil would be the next big thing? pump hot C02 from power plants straight into a huge VAT .. add sunlight and you get oil.

Don't. There is more done with oil then just petrol. Everything that is made out of plastic, as a starting point. And given the rising costs of Oil exploitation, it won't become cheaper anytime soon. Even if the first western nations manage to switch over to alternatives, the BRICS and other developing countries will need a decade or two longer to provide similiar infrastructure. Petrol won't go away that fast.

The huge demand in SE Asia is for Diesel for trains, tractors, trucks and heavy equipment not Petrol. Commercial shipping is not going nuclear anytime in the near future and the consumption of Jet 1 and Avgas goes up every year. Oil is used for a lot more than powering the family car.

Being the green-eco-freek that I was turned into by my wife, I put a lot of effort into recycling, including used engine oil. I had always assumed that it was put back through the refinery to get useful products.

Then I read that all the oil from my location in the world gets sent up to SE Asia and burnt to produce power. Guess its recycling of a kind!

Briefly side stepping for a moment, Raaaid what do you think of the possibility of perpetual motion machines ... impossible right, but I've heard of people who claim to have invented them.

Back to the energy thing, does anyone remember the Sinclair C5, when I lived in Aberdeen a guy down the road had one, looks like part of the reason they were phased out was because of safety (but not enough development either) but we see electric disabled carts going about town these days ... I bet like the Rayleigh Chopper bicycle they are collectors items now!

Trivia fact ... a heavily modified Sinclair C5 hit 150 MPH.

Its odd to think that any future Valentino Rossi Motorcycle racer might be riding an electric bike ... as a petrol head I hope its not in my lifetime though ... just doesn't seem right, LOL.
