Reply #19: There isn't any way to do this, in fact.

Not on the scale of gasoline. This can be recognized by thinking people very quickly.



All of the world's renewable energy combined would not provide a few weeks worth of gasoline.

It is a form of ignorance to pretend that even a fraction of the world's oil can be replaced by renewable fuels, especially because the same damn people have been trotting out this fantasy for more than 50 years, with hoopla about hydrogen and/or electric cars thrown in, with very little meaningful result.

In general, people try to hide from these realities and to repeat rote ignorance about the grand renewable future that didn't come because of volumes of talk about it in 1997, and will not come through volumes of talk in 2017. One zillion JPak posts going back now years on this site have not caused one exajoule of solar electric power to be generated in any year of human history. This has not prevented the expenditure of brazillions of kilowatt-hours of electricity being burned to talk about how wonderful solar energy is.
