    It just goes to show that relatively speaking gas is still really cheap. Think of it. Water is the most abundant liquid on earth, and petroleum is a hard to get liquid which takes millions of dollars to suck from the earth. Yet the price differential is nill. How about thata.

    High time for the advent of the hydrogen economy i thinks.

    Replacement fuel cells instead of fuel pumps, multiple electric engines (one per wheel).

    Hydrogen taken from seawater using massive solar powered plants.

    May sound expensive and difficult but the technology is there and it’s not like natural gas or any other fuel sources have much time left. This fuel hike will not stop contrary to what some consumers tell themselves, and as we run out companies will increasingly stockpile fuel reserves kicking the prices even higher -snowballing things.

    Problem is currently most hydrogen comes from petroleum, but that can change. Plus only exhaust would be clean water.

    That is all.
