Internal Combustion
- how corporations and government
addicted the world to oil and
derailed the alternatives.

Mr Black says that the the world economies
should move away from its dependence on oil
as a chief energy source. He says the first
step towards economic independency from oil
is to have(mandate?) all fleet-run vehicles
(e.g. US Government agencies, UPS,
Dunkin Donuts ) to switch to non oil energy
sources as hydrogen or electric.

And how shall we get free hydrogen to use as fuel and how shall we generate electricity? You are looking at the derivative products rather than at energy sources. Electricity is not an energy source, nor are free hydrogen molecules since they have to be unbound from other molecules which requires energy.

There are technologies not based on burning hydrocarbons.
