The Huffington Post–along with throngs of nay-saying science whizes –on Wed. 18 June, debunked the topic written about in the last posting. I apologize for my euphoric rush to pass on a truth-deprived story; what seemed to me at that moment, Necessity’s nursing of a much needed energy alternative to petroleum.

What’s kind of fun to read are the responses of those who read The Huffington Post debunking–ardently splitting the atom, as it were, about what defines a fuel and what defines a catalyst, etc., et. al.,  ad nauseum.

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.
