Mom and I had a talk about cars this morning and it led to us realising that since the US is addicted to FOREIGN OIL that we could be put in a place where we need to get off of it and it for a time puts a damper on cars. (speed week out in Bonneville right now) Anyway, I turned and the "flat" was fixed at the very turn onto COAL canyon road. This made me think about US coal reserves and how the Germans turned coal into fuel and about the way hybrid cars would make efficient use of it.
Also looking at the possibility of Curiosity on Mars related to

Putting energy toward soul "food" in the form of "manna" or "what is it?" in what Mars Curiosity finds.
