Not sport, crowd control.

Yeah, someone's definitely lying.

There's not been any advancement in geology or resource detection in the last 30 years. No way. Lying it is

It would be sweet to get a look at Tesla's works, but I guess that'll never happen any time soon.

And with the cars running on water - my wife's uncle was/is part of a "scientist guild" and were/are developing these things, along with hydrogen and some forms of indefinitely running "motors". Then the vans turn up, the armed men get out, take all their gear, make a few threats and leave. Most of them now live in hiding.

The only problem with cars that run on water is... Water is aready in short supply

According to most ECOpeople.

That depends on what kind of water you're talking about. Clean drinking water is a limited resource. Luckily enough Canada has the largest fresh water reserves in the world I believe. That means that when Oil is gone and water is the fuel of the world CANADA WILL BE THE BULLIES! :rotfl: *holds for shocked intakes of breath*

But seriously for other things sea water can be used. The production of so called heavy water is acheived with sea water I believe. I don't know what the water cars run on but I would hope it isn't some premium grade of water that requires a lengthy and energy demanding refinement process.:p

Just go to work plug your car in ...it charges while you work.

BUT

What happens when to wish to travel to your Grandma's house and there are no outlets to plug in to along the way?

I have to agree with TheBrauerHour

Hybrids are what Im lookin' at.
They had charging stations in many places in Southern California when electric cars first came out. Car Company groups lobbied hard not to get them installed. But Car/Tire companies have had a disatrous effect on transportation in California so this really isn't a surprise.

But you would need 20k to 30k of these stations to make is feasible nation wide.

I think the only real answer is to get peoples' obese disgusting butts out of their cars, and get them on buses and trains.
