GARBAGE could soon power cars, an alternative fuel expert has predicted on a visit to Holden officials in Australia. Wes Bolsen said anything with carbon could be the basis of ethanol, an alternative fuel that could cut the world's reliance on petrol and slash greenhouse gas emissions.

"Motorists want to have the choice of using a fuel that is cheaper than conventional petrol, is good for the environment and which provides local jobs," he said. Holden has formed an alliance with Mr Bolsen's company, Coskata, and plans to produce Commodores capable of running on E85 ethanol fuel from next year.
