I thought that this was a brilliant idea!

I like the idea. It has seemed to me for a long time, that the Middle East caused fewer problems before it had money. I can't understand why alternative fuels research is so non-productive. Even in the days when the government funded it, the organizations doing research blew a ton of money and produced little of any value.

So how do you proove the crude oil wasn't from the middle east before it was refined? Can a refinery waste time and make special batches for this store using only "certified" non-middle eatern crude oil? Good question.
What we need is hydrogen. General Motors has a chassis system and all (CBS did a special on this a year or two ago). They even have these little power plants, like the size of a big water heater that can run a store like Lowe's. The only byproduct is water. You could provide energy and CLEAN drinking water to third world villages (some places people have to walk several miles to get a few gallons of water, usually contaiminated).
Also, hydrogen is renewable and there are ways to make it at your house and also run your house with it.....
Ethanol is less efficient than gas, and it takes more farmland to grow the corn, it isn't exactly a viable alternative. While thousands starve we grow corn to waste on a car.. while not as bad as the evils of oil.. still problematic.
I say hydrogen. And I would really like to see this gas station proove it is non-middle east gasoline.

I thought about going to the auto show in Chicago this year but since I intend to wait until at least 2010 when GM hopes to have a production car using hydrogen I will wait until then. I'm tired of funding terrorism.

I'm waiting for the car that runs on water.

My engineer friend doesn't think much of this. He hasn't explained why and I don't know how to answer his cynical remark "How many BTU's does water put out?" We'll see. He says its the dream of a liberal arts major and it is a "wet dream".

Sorry, a car that runs on water won't "fly" here in Arizona! Now, if someone would only invent a car that runs on pollution ...

There's a car that runs on compressed air.

Here's one that won't pollute the atmosphere!

It's not the water, it's the hydrogen you get from sending an electrical charge through the water which separates the hydrogen from the oxygen. I was fascinated by this in high school chemistry class.

You burn hydrogen but use water as the fuel.
