He'$ dead.
For my reader(maybe an s), I would like to comment on the idea of cracking water with electric current.
If we are going to build up an adequate capacity of surplus electricity to make cracking water for hydrogen economically efficient, why don't we just invest in better electric batteries, and leave the hydrogen middleman out of the equation?
Discordant thought; Isn't it funny that affluent and effluent have only a single letter between them?
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.

dude, i can crack water with two nails, two test tubes, about 8 inches of copper wire and a hand crank generator. that's pretty fuckin economical.
it takes more energy to "crack" water to get hydrogen than you'd get from the hydrogen itself. that's one of them pesky "laws of thermodynamics" annoying the hippies. and that's "law" not "theory," so the christian right can just suck it.
if you'd like, I can probably get dr. dave back here to explain it all in technical terms ;)
evilsciencechick is my hero.
esc, so does ethanol... but that doesn't stop us. hehehe. anyhow, yeah, i'm all for a new engine and new power for it. IC engines are so 1890.
