Bio-Diesel, Bio-Fuel, ethanol, methanol, natural gas are all some of the alternatives. Some are already here. The perception that these are real alternatives is foolhearty. bio-diesel (b-20, b-85) that is really just a dilution of diesel fuel and wide spread use of it will just delay the inevitable end of diesel fuel. The production of ethanol consumes as much in fossil fuel or energy to create as ethanol provides. That doesn't even include the subsidies we pay in taxes or the cost of transporting ethanol to stations.
There isn't much we as individuals can do except look out for our own wallets and prepare as best we can. I use a fuel additive, its called BlueSky 3-in-1 Fuel in my cars and trucks that not only reduces pollution but it actually ends up being free because my fuel consumption has gone down about 8% which more than pays for the product.
It isn't the solution but it sure helps to take the edge off.
