Hydrogen fuelled cars seem promising but it does take natural gas to produce hydrogen.

There is some project going on in Australia about this huge solar powered tower thingy. It has fields and fields of glass panes surrounding it and it is designed so that the sunlight heats the air underneath the glass and rises through turbines in the tower.

There are a zillion alternatives to petrol. Petroleum should be used to build, not to burn. I think it was Dimitri Mendeleev who said that if your going to use petroleum you might as well fuel your oven with $100 bills.
