I can't wait til someone comes in here and starts talking about zero point energy, et al.

A friend of mine reviews cars for a local car mag, and he gave me a ride in the Lexus whatever. It was a hybrid with the battery recharging from the brake friction and during coasting. That thing had BALLS and drove like a dream. But the price tag was a weeeeee bit out of reach for what it was. It was still mostly gas-driven, but the recharging meter was fun to watch.
