Gas prices could be as high as $7.00 a gallon ....

That and build a few more nuclear power plants, some more wind farms etc.

Plug in hybrids will reduce dependence on gasoline for the daily commute.

We have more coal underground than Saudi has oil, it can be burned cleanly its only a matter of costing more but with oil at the prices it is today I am sure that it is becoming more economical every day.

50 Sq Miles of solar on Nevada ... on some of that Gov BLM land .. in that wonderful empty desert ...

50 Sq Miles if wind Turbines in ND / SD ... some place where the wind blows constantly ... Wind Turbines off the cost of Kennedy's house in MASS ... tidal generators ...

Nuke Plants in that big empty desert as well ....

I am not saying that Hydrogen will never be a fuel source on a much larger scale than it is now. I am saying that H2O will never be a fuel source, water is a waste product as far as energy goes, much like ash or smoke. There is no such thing as free energy.

Compressed Nat Gas is more viable .... NG is in alot of places and has a national distribution network ...

Actually Aquygen pretty much works on the fly ... the inventor was looking for a way to replace Oxy Acetelyne Torches ....

and reevaluated Browns Gas ... Oxyhydrogen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

using a catalyst to speed up the process

it is not straight decomp of water via electrolysis but very similar .... he also made a smaller unit for his Ford Escort.

No catalyst will reduce the enthalpy needed to split water. Because entropy changes, you can NEVER get back what you put into it even though it is a reversible process.

When a boiler makes steam for a turbine, work is being done on the water to change its phase. The same thing happens in electrolysis, only the gas phase produced (hydrogen and oxygen) is only used for its chemical enthalpy, not its physical enthalpy. Hence the loss.

There's like 5 people and a polar bear that live in Alaska, I don't know what they're whining about, but they're up in arms none-the-less.

Let's hope global warming is more than a myth, we can get rid of the polar bear
