Borax: it runs your car and cleans your laundry.

Years ago I used to watch a TV show called Death Valley Days which was sponsored by the Borax Company and their spokesman was an actor named Ronald Reagan.

Ronald Reagan was excellent as the announcer. He was really into the stories, true Americana.
To: Erasmus
Now, how did you find that on such short notice?

It will be interesting to watch the Marxist-Environmentalists struggle with an abundant source of clean energy for vehicular propulsion. Should tie them in dialectical knots... :-)

If what we already use was Fuel Injected at 13 times the pressure we now use it would also be "clean".
Which will happen the second any alternative provides meaningful competion.

With ANY carbon based fuel, whether it's fossil based or renewable, you still have the problem of CO & CO2 emissions. The "best" carbon based fuel would be methane (CH4) because it has the highest ratio of hydrogen to carbon (4/12 or .333). The idea is to get that carbon component down to zero.

I'm no chemist, so please help me out here. Does the increased pressure eliminate the CO? Regarding the C02, does this really matter? (Do we have a CO2 problem?)

Remember our discussion on:
'Hydrogen economy' a decade away: You wrote:
By the way, I read your link and I miss the point. All Millennium Cell has done is develop a little boron chemistry to store hydrogen a little more safely. This may be a good thing, but still doesn't solve the problem of where they get the hydrogen in the first place. 125
