Why are we as Americans so afraid to change? Even if it is a change for the better? The world has been using oil coal and other petroleum products to power just about everything that moves for the last 150 years. Yet most cars in the United States only get 10-20 miles a gallon and even the "good" ones can get only a petty 20-50 miles a gallon. So why do we put up with the inefficiency when there are far better alternatives out there? Such as hydrogen, which was discovered hundreds of years ago. Hydrogen has long been known for its explosive properties and abundance in the universe. Hydrogen can do just about everything conventional fuels can do but better. .
Hydrogen can be "packaged" in several ways, as a fuel gas in a H2/02 powered engine or the newly devised solid state pellet of hydrogen isotopes that contains about the equivalent of 5000 cubic feet of hydrogen and is broken down and releases gas into the second chamber where it goes to the engine for use. One reason that hydrogen power has not taken off is that there are thousands of jobs in the petroleum and coalfields. Really who would want to own a car that requires about 20-30 cents per mile in gas expenses when you could basically pull up to the water hose every month and fill your tank with something about 20 cents every 2000 or so miles? So demand for petroleum products would sky dive and thousands of jobs would be lost and no one except the Water Company, car Alternator/generator Company and the battery company would profit from it. People would also so angry about losing their jobs over such a change and boycott the automotive companies making hydro-cars and cause havoc for the people trying to "upgrade" us to a better system of working. I mean everything in a car has changed but the engine stays essentially the same. It's commonly known that large oil companies have been paying off the automakers to keep all cars under the 40-mile per gallon range.
