1. Welcome.

2. There's no need to shout.

3. Do you have a favorite thing with which to replace the internal combustion engine?

There will be no replacement for the internal combustion engine until every last drop of oil/blood/money has been wrung from the Earth/Humanity/The Global Economy.

Sorry, but juggernauts don't just voluntarily step aside. They die when brought down by either a bigger juggernaut or a very clever David. So far, there's an awful lot of squished flat Davids on the sandals of the Big Oil/Middle East juggernaut.

Ooh! Ooh! Organic material! We should invent a bionic car, like the Cylon battleships.

I don't think the Cylon ships are organic - they are a metal ship filled with a pilot creature.

Now, Vorlons, Shadows, Moya, and Lexx were organic.

The bicycle. Solve two problems with one bike, eating too much fat food and moving too little.

Or maybe even a little electric powered scooter.....you know.....the Segway.

how about magnets? i like magnets. do you like magnets?

No, lumberjim, you're supposed to move to a 400 sq ft / person high rise apartment in the city right near your job and other necessities, so you can walk (or bike) to everything you need. It's the New Urbanist ideal.

Anyway, possible replacements for the internal combustion engine abound. Their common characteristic is they all have problems much greater than that of the internal combustion engine.

flying butt monkeys would be a good replacement for the i.c.e. ... the bigger the butt, the more monkeys would fit in it... the more monkeys it would take to haul. wide ass = more monkeys. it's a win win win for everybody but the butt monkeys. and as(s) long as we build them to fly and not talk...

Yeah! Warehouse the workforce and only let them out when either you need them or they have to get some necessity of survival! A secondary bonus would be that much more land would become available for the Ruling Class to enjoy!
