@Joseph – Very cool … Build it! There’s plenty of idle machine shop capacity in this country … The Scuderi engine is another great example of why there’s still plenty of potential in the internal combustion engine. http://www.scuderigroup.com/

they talk about wind being backed up by other fuels, why not just put those new spiral-shaped wind mills of the roof of every household and business building that require very little wind to operate wind and still put out a lot of power,
or put solar fields right next to the wind farms to get extra power
we have absolutely no dependence on fossil fuels anymore, we just need to look at our options, and there are far too many option to still think we need finite fuels for any purpose
