Actually the thing that prevents us from achieving the speed of light is the strange fact that as an object increases velocity, it gains mass. This is described by the Lorentz Invariant. As an object approaches the speed of light it will also aproach infinite mass. To accelerate such an object would take, you guessed it, infinite energy. Thus, no light speed for you.
