SONF, I can't see our oil giants allowing that myself, think of all the money they'd lose if it took off. May be when the oil finally runs out :)

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

load of bollox and typical Mail, sacrifice decent journalism for headlines that appeal to the unaware :wink:

hydrogen as a potential fuel has been known about for decades, problem is the energy required to make the hydrogen in a form that's usable is greater than the output, so until free renewable energy is available on an industrial scale then it's a pipe dream still.
