Well said. Why go to hell quickly in an ugly, stinky car, when you can go back to Godhead slowly (but surely) on a beautiful oxcart (or a horse, a mule, or whatever thenext best thing is)? > From a different perspective of it would be nice to have alternative fuels, in > general it can't compete. We don't want to compete; we want to transcend. > Pumping oil from the earth is a form of rape. Seduction is more expensive than > rape, seen solely from an economic perspective. Either way, it's illicit sex, where as sustainable farming is "husbandry," and therefore sanctioned by Krsna. Your servant, T-p d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know that in some African countries it is cheaper to produce alcohol than import naphta oil ('cause they have a lot of sugarcane), so they even designed engines for local cars for alcohol use. Or thare is another alternative - get a metan from cow dung (or horse dung, pig dung, whatever), compress it and use with metan cars. Or you can put on the top of your car solar panels (if you are rich enough and there is sunny weather). But it's just for entertainment. It is always better to have many alternative sources. Hope you are well, ys bh Oleg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
