it would work as an alternate fuel and it is more abundant than anything else we have but to turn your car into a hydro would probably cost more than its worth lol

The problem is at this time it costs more to extract the stuff than the cost of petrol, so all this car development on fuel cells is pointless unless we can find a way of separating it with a much lower cost, and at the moment that is not happening, and maybe never will, Rick
