water-powered car not a wet dream
I’ll wager that for its importance this is the most under-reported story of the day. A Japanese manufacturer of electricity generation technologies, Genepax, has unveiled an automobile fueled by hydrogen processed from water.
More than anything else, this story should serve as a reminder that the global economy should not carry on captive to only one source of energy (ahem, petrolium). Yes, the water-mobile alone will not rehabilitate us from our dependence on oil. It will be a diversity of alternative energy sources the moves the economy past a petrolium-dominated system. I look forward to watching that transition unfold.
