Greater reliance on natural gas-fueled light duty vehicles is possible but will require more time due to greater infrastructure requirements and technological innovation.
Steven Mandel trains his 7-inch telescope on a portion of the Veil Nebula, a cloud of gas 1, 600 light-years away.
But, at a time when petrol costs less than bottled water, it will take all Mr Iacocca's considerable salesmanship to persuade American drivers to swap their gas-guzzlers for a light and environmentally friendly electric buggy.
One way to compute its value is to shine light through a gas-filled container.
The algae in the device lives in water surrounded by a gas-permeable membrane and helped by light from and LED.
Heat a gas grill to medium-high or light a charcoal fire and let it burn just until the coals are covered with gray ash.
The visible light from it was bright enough for George Djorgovski, Mark Metzger and Shri Kulkarni of the California Institute of Technology and their colleagues to analyse, and to demonstrate that it had travelled through a cloud of interstellar gas at least 10 billion light-years from the earth.
Its engine segment (49% of net sales in 2010) produces a wide range of engines that run on diesel and natural gas used in heavy-, medium- and light-duty trucks, buses, automobiles, RVs, and industrial vehicles.
Here, looking towards the centre of the Milky Way, it spies a ribbon of cold gas and dust that is more than 600 light-years across and which appears to be twisted.
Combined-cycle gas turbines, which use hot exhaust gases from one turbine to generate steam to turn a second one, can transform 6, 800 Btu of gas into a kilowatt-hour of electricity, enough to light one lightbulb for ten hours.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) have formally announced their joint proposal to set stronger fuel economy and greenhouse gas pollution standards for model year 2017-2025 passenger cars and light-duty trucks.

This will generate two flashes of light - one in the liquid argon and another in the gas - which will be detected by the receptors.
BBC: Dark Matter: Experiment to shed light on dark particles
Race Point Light on Cape Cod, Massachusetts doesn't have electricity-just gas lanterns-and the generator runs for barely two hours a day.
On the plus side, the ability to directly detect light from a planet closer to the size of Earth than a Jupiter-sized gas giant is a positive step forward in our ability to learn more about planets that might be habitable.
