I received a couple of comments about the use of hydrogen in automobiles. One reader noted that while it is unsafe to drive a vehicle with a tank of hydrogen in the back, it is possible to generate small amounts of the gas that can be mixed with gasoline, thus increasing the miles per gallon and decreasing greenhouse gases.
This is true. One company is marketing such a device here in Oklahoma City and I’m sure many more are available on the internet. My friend Mick, an oil man in Tulsa, is selling large generators, complete with such a device. The result is extra hours of cleaner power generation at almost no cost.
Unhappily, the American public only seems to think “green” when the price of energy is out of sight. We should be concentrating our efforts on such devices, available as we speak, to increase fuel efficiency and decrease greenhouse gases.
I would love to hear from all of you and welcome any and all comments on the subject. With the price of oil heading toward $50 barrel today, we can’t afford to be complacent.
