While I agree in principle with the need for the US to reduce it's dependency on foreign oil, I think that moving from one non-renewable source of fuel to another is just pushing back the deadline for when we have to find another energy source.
Personally, I am really digging the new car that runs on compressed air. Yes, it's ugly as sin, but the concept is very neat. Now some people might claim that all you're doing is moving the pollution from the cars to the power plants. Well, first off, power plants are much easier to control pollution as you only have to worry about one source instead of thousands or millions. Plus, you can easily throw a solar panel on your rooftop relatively inexpensively that will offset your increased energy usage if you so desire. Apparently, this air run car is going on sale for around $7,500 and has a bunch of luxuries such as GPS navigation, voice recognition, keyless entry and more.
Put one of those on the market, at roughly that price, and I'll buy one off the lot today.
