"I doubt we will even see a prototype of a car powered by these caps in 2006, 2007, or 2008." There is a Canadian company that plans to have production automobiles in 2008. Prototypes already exist. The caps should be in pre-production right now, with full production next year. This stuff has been out of the lab for a while.

re: 2 - Mindmeld apparently hopes for the Middle East to go "back to being an impoverished desert with no oil money". Which would seem to imply more than just the US no longer needing oil. The US uses 25% of the world's oil. Commodities trade at the margin of supply and demand. Taking most of the US demand off of the world market would reduce the price of oil close to the cost of oil production, there by reducing the profits to the oil producing countries dramatically. re: I doubt we will even see a prototype of a car powered by these caps in 2006, 2007, or 2008. You don't need a radical new design overnight. We have technology today to reduce consumption by 60%.
