Alcohol is expensive to make and low octane. Hydrogen is plentiful and very expensive to make and store although metal sponges may offer some hope. Methane recovery from land fills works very well, but again on a localized basis. Over all, at present, nearly all alternative energy sources are much more expensive than gas and contrary to the sites I don't see that changing any time soon. Wind and solar are very localized. Here in most of Michigan, neither is of much use over most of the area. Solar is expensive to install. Depending on your climate it may be expensive to maintain. Our wind average is ideal for wind generation, with the exception that the wind alternates between very high and nothing, neither of which is practical. The one good thing is they do help reduce our dependence on foreign oil, but in general they have a very long way to go to become cost competitive.
