It's going to hurt for a while when we finally commit to alt fuel. It will cost money for station owners to add that service. People with petrol-based cars will still have them for decades even after alt fuel becomes the industry standard, and those older vehicles will still need fuel.
Such uncertainties make my neck tense up. Ouch.

The sad part is that until we all get together and say "THIS is the alternative we alla will use", it won't happen anyway. We need a standard, otherwise no-one is willing too invest in the infrastructure needed. The gas station owners don't want to sink money into it if there are no potential customers and the endusers won't buy a car using that alternate fuel unless they can get that fuel wherever they go. So, it's kind of a catch-22 thing really.
