The CBS news article below reveals a major breakthrough in car engine design. This car engine gets over 50 mpg, goes from zero to 60 in four seconds, and runs on soybean oil! So why isn't this remarkable breakthrough making front page headlines in all major media? For the same reason that many other major energy breakthroughs have been reported but never given the headlines they deserve. Those who are reaping huge profits from oil sales have much more political and media influence than you might imagine.

Under the short, but revealing CBS article below, I've included links to several other major energy breakthroughs reported in the mainstream media which should be getting major attention. I invite you to explore these fascinating articles to see if these aren't legitimate inventions that should transform car engines and energy production. You can make a difference now by playing the role at which the media is so sadly failing. Spread the news on these amazing breakthroughs far and wide. Together, we can and will build a brighter future.

Kids Build Soybean-Fueled Car

The star at last week's Philadelphia Auto Show wasn't a sports car or an economy car. It was a sports-economy car — one that combines performance and practicality under one hood.

But as CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman reports in this week's Assignment America, the car that buyers have been waiting decades [for] comes from an unexpected source and runs on soybean bio-diesel fuel to boot.

A car that can go from zero to 60 in four seconds and get more than 50 miles to the gallon would be enough to pique any driver's interest. So who do we have to thank for it. Ford? GM? Toyota? No — just Victor, David, Cheeseborough, Bruce, and Kosi, five kids from the auto shop program at West Philadelphia High School.

The five kids, along with a handful of schoolmates, built the soybean-fueled car as an after-school project. It took them more than a year — rummaging for parts, configuring wires and learning as they went. As teacher Simon Hauger notes, these kids weren't exactly the cream of the academic crop

Unfortunately, until there is a fuel distribution system (this is the major problem with converting fuels) --- this is cool but unusable out in the real world :(

Nonsense. The distribution system could handle soybean oil quite easily. It could even handle butanol, a four carbon alcohol fuel which is better suited to mix with gasoline or diesel (and could even be used 100%) than is ethanol. Ethanol, BTW, is the alternative fuel that is incompatible with current distribution systems. Butanol can be shipped in existing pipelines while ethanol cannot. Soybean oil isn't any different than other types of oils and if mixed with butanol would work in almost any engine by thinning it and preventing it from gumming up the works.

If you install extra tanks at the filling station, it would handle things quite easily. But how do you get them installed?

But let me throw one more problem with you - how do you grow soybeans without using natural gas and oil as inputs? Fertilizers are made from those.

This isn't an easy problem to solve. Each time you think you have a winner, you peel the layer back and locate another loser.

This gets back to the problem of reforming the system of chemical agriculture. The only reason it is a loser is if we refuse to change a losing system.

The way it needs to change is to get the soil healthy again. This is called biodynamics and eco-agriculture. http://acresusa.com

This revolves around building up the soil and its humus and beneficial microbiology. Have you ever heard of Fusarium? This is a bacteria which has a beneficial effect to help with the nutrional needs of plants. It is not the only beneficial bacteria.

There is a malady which affects plants known as Fusarium wilt which is what happens when the soil systems become out of balance and allow this bacteria to become detrimental rather than beneficial. If the soil was properly managed to be healthy this problem would not exist.

Part of the problem is the overuse of chemical fertilizers and the decrease of humus content which occurs from the use of chemical nitrogen fertilizers. Excessive amounts of phosphates in the soils is also a big problem. These are bound up and not released for the use of the plants because of the imbalances. Furthermore, when the soil systems are in balance it leads to disease and insect resistant plants. From there you get healthy and nutritious foods for animals and humans.

We need to dispel this utter ignorance that people suffer from with the oil- based chemical paradigm. We need to change it for our health and for the health of the planet. It's that simple.

Absolutely - and before it gets too expensive to use - and its too late to do the switch.

Researching all of this stuff has proven fascinating. Every single system and process appears to revolve around petroleum. Every time an answer seems to be found, more problems pop up.

One thing is for sure - there will be a LOT more nuclear power in the future.
