this article misses the point. The congress is trying to force the hand of the automakers because we need to get off of our dependence on foreign oil, or at least greatly diminish it. There is new technology that I read about which will get the hydrogen energy out of water in a very efficient way...problem solved! Also, there are patents which have been bought by the oil makers and car makers which vaporize and turn gasoline into basically a propane type fuel for huge increases in mpg’s. A canadian man did it successfully in the 1930’s and it was tested and written about in the media quite a bit. He bacame a very wealthy man after selling the patent rights and of course car makers never made them into their cars. The car and oil companies are financially intertwinned and definetly don’t want to greatly reduce the gas part of their profits. Do some research on high mileage vapor fuel savers and you will see that the oil companies own something like 93 of the patents. Now why on earth would they buy the patents if they were not viable?
LOL! There is no "hydrogen energy" in water.
