Ok, so instead of spending umpteen billion on a new and overly
complex IC engine, why not just start building "universal fuel"
steam-engines with flash-boilers? It doesn't need to be much more
complex than a Stanley Steamer. I'm sure that minor changes with
modern equipment could make them immediately usable for daily
transportation needs.

Of course, it's always better to run off in a direction that makes
things overly complex and infinitely more succeptable to frequent
breakdowns. Better commerce that way......
