To get more energy from water than you put in would require a Mr. Fusion, which may be a few years down the road.

Ughh, you obviously don’t understand the laws of thermodynamics.

"the SMART cars are coming.....by summer 51/mpg"

This mileage is about what the Diesel passenger cars are getting. VW Pasat w/Diesel does this.

In addition, the Diesels are much more durable, but ANYTHING that we can do to get better mileage is good.

I personally try to minimize fuel consumption by better planning of my trips. I live about 25 miles from anywhere and don't just hop in my truck and frivolously go to town.

I go maybe twice a week and try to combine errands.

This is not because I'm worried about pollution, but because it's expensive!

A combination of conservation and better efficiency is the ticket.

Looking forward to seeing the SMART cars.

The laws of thermodynamics apply to chemical reactions not nuclear reactions.

I am quite well aware that efficient fusion, especially cold fusion, may never be achieved.

It was a joke.

Yergin was promoting the idea that LNG is/will be the "energy of the future". But to spur the industry, it would need a great deal of capital and coordination to make it feasible.

Here's the link:

Tell that to a physicist or engineer. Your only further proving my point.

If you've ever seen one you know they are not exactly aerodynamic.

For the younger crowd, here is proof.

Hey dude! That's my car! Looks like a 61 model too.

It really was a fine piece of machinery. My old Lark ran like a sewing machine!

Thanks for the picture.
