"Meyer said his invention could do what physicists say is impossible -- turn water into hydrogen fuel efficiently enough to drive his dune buggy cross-country on 20 gallons straight from the tap."

Very interesting and odd story IMO.

I'm all for saving the planet if I don't spend money on it from taxes.

No, ours try to tax people to death and forcibly wrest their land to the government's control. Then again, so do the 'conservatives' in charge.

It's talking about a vehicle that runs on (the fuel) water.
Like how people say, "That car runs on gas."
It's less likely that there is a lake full of gas, so people think it's the type of fuel it uses.

For a second there, I actually though that he was talking about a car that drove on top of water, ala Jesus style.

And then I realized "H2O Powered Car" and was like Oohhh.

Nice car... I want one...

EDIT: the conspiracy part doesn't surprise me. Our government ought to have a "chat" with those two Belgian investors CIA-style.

Yeah, I was kidding.

Good effort though, I appreciate it.

I wouldn't be suprised if any of the big oils companies comes forward with a new car that can run on a new kind of fuel when the oils getting running to its end.

Not a new kind of car per se, but rather you'll see a market for LPG appearing.

Pretty much like this story:

Although in the end you hear "He is now working with the government"...

That other car is much better =P

LPG is a free bi-product of the production of Diesel/Unleaded (just like Butter/Cream -> Skim Milk).

When oil runs out, so does LPG.

On a similar note, here's a car that runs on compressed air:

My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.
