I like seeing people throw up tons of calculations that are geared to indicate we can't outright replace our total gasoline consumption without turning every square inch of land into a corn farm.

Though it may be true, those calculations are based on consumption RIGHT NOW.

With things changing, hybrid and more efficient vehicles, is our consumption going to stay the same? Go up? Go down?

What would happen if a cheaply available battery source were discovered that could enable a pure electric vehicle get several hundred miles on one charge were discovered?

I think the naysayers are only measuring against what exists TODAY, and are not factoring in changing and evolving technology of tomorrow.
