Re: $262/barrel Oil

How hard would it be to take the engine and tranny out of a 1G, and attach an electric motor to each one of the hubs (where the axles would have gone)

that would leave us with a light electric AWD car

as for a power plant, how about one of JETs corn burning furnaces modified to boil water with the corn.

Steam>turbine>alternator>electricity>

a cost effective method of transportation, not really a DSM anymore, but it will look and feel somewhat similiar
