Aluminum rods and hydrogen could become great sources of energy used in cars because of the zero pollution but they still don't provide a good answer for a new great energy because alluminum and hydrogen still require huge amounts of energy to create on their own. Currenctly, if those we used cars would not pollute, but than coal powerplants would have to pollute and make the energy for those fuels. (even if coals plants are more efficent than gasoline powered cars.)

If algae or that new type of grain were created efficently it would generate its own energy on its own and not require polluting prosceses to create the actual fuel.

However if wind or solar was made more efficent than the alluminum and hydrogen fuels could work.
