Fuel prices, increased pollution, and other problems can all be traced back to the use of gasoline as our primary source of energy in cars. It wasn't always that way. When the combustion engine was first used in cars, it was water that powered it. Gasoline wouldn't be used for decades. Somewhere along the line, however, people forgot that water and, more specifically, hydrogen could be used as a valid and safe energy source.
Why do so many people continue to doubt the effectiveness of this alternative? Well, there are a few reasons.
Sadly, most of what people believe is told to them by the media. Unfortunately, the media has largely ignored the water as fuel phenomenon, probably because so much of it has come about through the Internet - one of the major enemy's of the companies who run the major news media organizations today.
Many people steer clear of these options because they are worried that such changes are going to be difficult and might cause lasting damage to their cars. The good news is that's not the case.
Because this alternative is being ignored by the mainstream media, most people either haven't even heard about the option or believe it can't be real.
What happens is that the gasoline in your car ends up fueling the process that makes the water useful to your engine. You see, a molecule of water is made up of atoms of hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen can be converted into energy for your car but only when it is separated from the oxygen through electricity. The gas provides the electricity to make this separation and to allow the hydrogen to fuel your vehicle.
Obviously, if you only need gasoline to power a small part of the process then you're going to end up using a great deal less. You'll save money at the pump because most of your fuel is going to come from ordinary water that you can get right out of your faucet.
Unfortunately, ethanol is not likely to be a reliable alternative. One of the main problems is that ethanol requires large quantities of corn in order to be produced. The production isn't cheap and doesn't cost much less than creating gasoline. Plus, if you do save money on the costs of each gallon of ethanol, you'll end up spending it elsewhere. With more corn being used for fuel production, the cost of corn will rise dramatically and that means almost every type of food at your local grocery store is going to go sky high. Beef, milk, and cheese will skyrocket because cows are often fed corn. Cereal will skyrocket because most of it is made from corn.
On top of those problems, ethanol will also cost massive starvation around the world as excess corn is bought up by oil companies to create this alternative fuel instead of being sent to people who need the food to survive.
Another huge benefit is that as more people switch to water fuel the cost of gasoline will keep going down. When demand drops so will prices.
