While we are still some time away from this technology, drinking water from your tailpipe is soon to become a reality.  So when will it happen, well your guess is as good as mine, but there have already been millions of dollars invested in this ground breaking alternative fuel.  In fact, UC Davis university has already produced fuel stations and developed proto-type cars that run on this so-called hydrogen cell. Let’s take a look some quick facts about Hydrogen Fuel Cells and what needs to take place before can mix our koolaid with the water from our exhaust…

1. According to the United States Government hydrogen fuel cell cars will be ready for production by the year 2015.  Close to 600 million dollars has been spent on this ambitious project that started in 2004 and we are currently still in the researching the technology phase.
2. With the recent crazy high gas prices, many water related gimmicks have recently appeared in the marketplace that claim to increase your gas mileage.  Have you seen the one where you actually pour water in your gas tank?  Are you kidding me! We will actually be reviewing some of these pretty soon.
3. Many people must realize that this will not be a simple modification to your car, but rather you will have to buy a new type of production car.  This helps car companies get back some of their proits they are currently losing in the SUV market. No surprise there.
4. A total shift from gas to hydrogen is going to be bad for global stability.  There are tons of politics at work regarding alternative fuels like this, in fact if the middle east loses hundreds of millions of dollars from oil as a result of hydrogen, you will see more Sadam Hussein wannabes uprising around the world.

The reality is that while we are 10-15 years away from a hydrogen production car, beware of gimmicks like you are currently seeing, praying on the gullible gas saving wannabees.  But, don’t worry, the move to hydrogen is far more than a dream, it WILL become reality, and within your lifetime!
