Cars that run on water, coming soon.
I stopped reading at this point.
That seems an unfortunate way to phrase it.
Turning nickel into platinum
So, alchemy, is it?
If it becomes a viable alternative energy source,
you can be sure the leftist/environmentalist/communists will find a way to shut it down.
And Headline Writer to Awkwardly Split Infinitives
So you’re a Doubting Thommas?...............
First of all, hydrogen isn’t an energy source. It is a way of storing energy.
Second, before hydrogen can be used as a fuel, we need a portable way of storing over a long period of time. Currently, a hydrogen tank in a car that gave the vehicle the same range as current gas tanks would be huge and cut into passenger and cargo space.
That’s easy.
Hydrogen and oxygen recombine to make water vapor, which is a hundred times more powerful of a ‘greenhouse gas’ than CO2, ergo it must be stopped............
Water is a pretty safe way to store hydrogen...........
It wasn’t awkward.
He did it rather well............
Yeah, I thought of that.
They’ll finally admit that water vapor accounts for 98% of the greenhouse effect.
Human produced CO2 accounts for 0.117% of the greenhouse effect:

If I stopped reading every article at the point where it made an assertion I disagreed with, I would read very little.
They want us to live in caves.
...and so did you..........
Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide.
They don’t want us to live, period, if we aren’t part of their global communist utopia.
China has all the molybdenum.
Even with catalyst you have to spend more energy to split water than you get back burning H.
The Occupy crowd has apparently already done that........
Imagine being able to fill a tank with water, run it over a catalyst which separates the two, and then burning them, effectively recombining them, for power. Forget the tailpipe. It could almost be a closed loop system.
But when said that way, it comes across as a bit of a chemistry version of a perpetual motion machine.
