| 32. I believe Mazda has the "Wankel", although they call it by it's generic......... |

.....name; rotary. What is needed is for a whole new way of propulsion, away from the internal combustion engine. If say in the early 70's when we had the first "gas shock" we started our scientists on a road to find a new system, we might be well on our way to having one, or maybe even have one now. BUT, the US is so short sighted on many, many things that we now are at where the UK was in the 60's and early 70's, a over grown, over blown AND BROKE imperialist country. Didn't mean to get off track, but couldn't help myself.
