What is the next fuel after gasoline?

You’ve asked this before.

Believe it or not, gasoline or diesel. Gasoline and diesel are just chemically stored energy just as hydrogen and batteries are. The difference is that we get gasoline and diesel by refining crude oil from fossil reserves. We know how to synthesize gasoline and diesel from CO2 and H2O, it’s as easy to make synthetic gasoline and diesel as it is to make hydrogen. All that is needed is an inexpensive energy source and we have that in Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors.

It would be hard to replace oil right now, but biodiesel can be made from used oils, and you can modify a diesel so it could run on strait vegetable oil instead of biodiesel. Electric would not be bad in town, but this would mean you would need bigger power grids to be able to handle more load. Alcohol fuel might work if you lived on a farm where you could grow stuff to ferment. There’s many other possible alternative fuels also. Its hard to know what to invest in right now because things could go different ways depending on what’s practical. Also, it would be hard for any single fuel to replace all the oil we use now so unless we drastically reduce demand we probably need a combination of different alternatives.

Nuclear would be a great clean energy source for a great electric station system for future cars that would run on electricity. Maybe a good investment now would be companies that are making home and public electric recharging stations- maybe specializing on one area of a state like franchise people do in other industries. An installation business for those power stations may be good and can be started small and then expand as sales go up.
