I bet there are a number of old [Email]f@rts[/Email] in here who remember the turbine powered vehicles and Indy cars.
They too were going to save the world. I don't know about saving the world, but they certainly would have eliminated tailgating. 
The turbine powered car was doomed when Chrysler demonstrated that it could run quite well on just about anything that pours and burns. Used cooking oil, fermented lawn and garden clippings, anything. Didn't take long for politicians to figure out how hard it would be to tax that (no GPS back then) and that was the end of the turbo car.
