 | | Believe it or not, just about 86 years ago, a man named Louis Enricht announced to the wealthy investors of America, in April 1916, that he perfected a substitute for gasoline, making the price the cheapest in history of mankind. |
 | | As more and more influential people became interested, among them, Henry Ford, the German-born Enricht, was accused of selling his secret discovery to more than one source at the same time. |
 | | With other flaw-ridden deals, Enricht was ultimately imprisoned, and he and his one-cent-a gallon-idea died together, and the world was poorer for it. |
