Four dollars a gallon.

What if we had spent several hundred billion dollars on developing this, instead of trying to police a bunch of regilious fanatics? For hells sakes, we developed an atom bomb in five years..

I've heard of this before. The gas is also called "Browns Gas" and I know of at least one other manufacturer who makes a metal cutting tool using the gas. And a company called Water4gas sells a book on how to convert your own car to run on a water /gas combo. Thanks for reminding me. This is one of the things I wanted to try this year and I had forgotten about it.

Is it better to roll the dice and just hope everything turns out ok for our great grand kids, or play it safe AND in the process reduce pollution on a global scale?

That all depends. There's nothing wrong with reducing pollution, but when that is coupled with unreasonable taxation and wholesale destruction of the countryside and coastline*, then I think we are simply swapping one kind of pollution for another.


*The British government, under pressure from 'greens' is planning a mass expansion of windfarms. On land this means thousands of miles of previously unspoiled countryside will be concreted over with turbine sites and the access roads necessary for service crews. They are also expanding those out at sea, so there will not be anywhere on our coast that is free of these useless monstrosities. It makes more sense just to build new nuclear power plants on existing sites.
Other proposals include the promotion of biofuels, again under pressure from 'greens', even though the demand for biofuels is now driving the destruction of virgin forest in favour of biofuel crops.
