Water run cars are coming soon

Japanese company Genepax has developed an automobile which is running at
80km/h for an hour by a litre of H2O. Is this time to salute oil producing
arabs and European tax collectors by middle fingers up?

Toyota has built a car which travel more than 800 kilometres by 150 litres
of hydrogen.

Alright then spoilsport. But are you quite certain about this? No way around
this by contemporary tools? But perhaps contemporary theories support the
idea of it's positive economy in future.

I guess some promoters or history majors have again repealed the First
Law of Thermodynamics: you can't get something for nothing!

If you have an abundant energy source that's not useable for some
purpose, converting that energy into a form suitable for use can make
sense, even if there's a net loss.

Converting coal into electricity to make hydrogen for fuel would make
sense when you can't burn coal in your car or bus directly.

Why this in a European travel group is beyond me, but heck, this is
USENET.

Like corn ethanol.

Well, a lot of interest in alternate fuels for cars comes from wanting
to reduce carbon emissions so burning more coal wouldn't meet that goal.

Weren't the claims for cold fusion similar?

Speaking of, they've been talking about fusion for ages. No
breakthrough in sight?
