sounds too good to be true

Interesting indeed. Probably at some point becomes unfeasible for mass market though, either the production capacity, or generating the hydrogen or something.

you can separate the oxygen and hydrogen by an electronic process as far as i know. Which would mean as long as there is water and copper for electrodes there can be hydrogen

I've always said that the only real solution would be to run cars on hydrogen. Unfortunatly only 1% of the earths water is fresh, so if you wanted this to be sustainable you'd have to learn how to run a car on salt water (from the oceans) as their is an abundance of it. However corrosion would than be the biggest issue.

I don't think it sounds too good to be true, look at oil. They make completely synthetic oil...why couldn't they do it to gas too?

Hah, you beat me to it, Cortexx! I posted this on my Facebook and got quite a favourable reaction so far! Figured I'd post it here too :P

ya and where will the energy that converted the water to hydrogen come from?

ya and the energy to support their lives are gonna come from burning what?


(oil)

[cortexx]

solar cell / hydro electric energy (england has an abundance of fast flowing rivers , i know , i've kayaked them) is a source of electricity that could be used to run the electrolysis process , this power source can also be used to distil sea water to obtain pure water. The salts and other by products from the sea water can be sold for other uses.

Burn **** .... who run bartertown ?

hydro's alright and doable for places that can support it. (such as QC, BC)

As for solar, hell no.

seeing as the middle east will not be able to sell it's oil anymore because it wont be needed , could fill the desert with solarfarms , plenty of sun in the desert
