Coal & Natural Gas + Biofuels made from Crop Waste & Used Cooking Oil + Plastics Recovered from Oceans and Used Tires + Methane containing Hydrates on the sea floor, we have propane, butane, natural gas, hydrogen and oxygen from seat water, nearly endless possible sources of fuel via GTL or gas to liquids FT chemistry. Fischer & Tropisch invented a way to convert coal to gasoline, diesel, kerosine and jet fuel for the Nazi war machine at Hilter's orders during WWII
Thus Shell the Dutch oil company refined and perfected FT fuel manufacturing from a variety of possible input feedstocks, from biomass or wood or corn cobs, or used veggie oil, or used motor oil, or plastic waste remover from the oceans and dumps. We can literally make trillions of gallons of fuel for 300 years using alternative sources long after crude oil supplied are depleted worldwide.
Now making fuel from wood dust, coal, natural gas, we are talking about $9/ gallon US 2024, so way more expensive than petrochemical fuel. But consider that Toyota already broadly sells worldwide a Hybrid Corolla (Latin for Little Crown as the name) such that it is EPA rated at 52 MPG but can give way more like 64 MPG, see fuely.com for examples of Corolla Hybrid that get north of 70 MPG on regular unleaded fuel. The Corolla is big enough to move 4 adults and 850lbs of cargo in the trunk or hatchback area or utility space.
You can get around in Corolla Hybrid or similar and get fantastic fuel economy. This hedges you income from high fuel costs in the future. When you select high fuel economy vehicles that means they use less fuel so fuel prices make less of a difference in the operating costs. That means you will save more on fuel over the life of your fuel efficient car than what you paid for the car new in capital costs. That means a hybrid sedan can save you $40,000+ on fuel over its 10 year life, or longer if you keep and maintain it, possible even 20 years with 1 hybrid battery change.
Ding, Ding, Ding, if you drive on paved roads you do not need a Land Cruiser, G-Wagon or Land Rover Defender. A simple cheap used passenger sedan thats fuel efficient can easily move you and bags of groceries, too and from work, to the supermarket or grocery store or even on long road trips to visit distant relatives that live far way in America.
Sure peak crude oil production may have peaked in 2004, but we have many alternative fuels like ethanol, ethane, methanol, methane, natural gas, DME or dimethyl either for diesel engines, propane or butane conversions of gasoline engine vehicle fueling systems and much more in terms of bio fuels of many kind, like biodiesel or bio hydro diesel or even peanut oil or used veggie oil, crop waste ethanol cellulosic and more like natural gas to gasoline or coal gasification to gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
As outlandish as this sounds, we can even exploit atomic strong force in LENR or low energy nuclear reactions to make electricity in EV's to energize the motor for movement or to charge the battery slowly trickle speed while its parked 20+ hours per day
Finally at the bleeding edge of physics, vehicle energy can be optioned with Warp Field Interferometry (WFI) WFI exploits galactic expansion pressure differential Using a cleaver atomic magnetic technique, incredible amounts of electric energy can be created in small devices to energize electric automobiles of many different kinds. Electric drive ships and electric turbo fan aircraft. We can make electric trains with WFI power generators and endless electricity. I am talking about radical energy abundance that revolutionizes all aspects of human activity with cheap abundant clean electricity for everyone's benefit!
