There were many young people over 40 years ago right out of college and some also fresh out of the military that went to work for many of the former "Seven Sisters". The major oil companies that at that time were all making quote "windfall profits" according to the U.S. Government. Some of us educated idiots had a "stupid idea" why not start building the infrastructure now for a inevitable switchover to HYDROGEN as a fuel for the American public. Why? Well it is clean burning; one part hydrogen plus 2 parts oxygen equals H2o otherwise known as water. My oil company built hydrogen fuel cells and fired armor piercing incendiary rounds into them while filming with super-highspeed cameras and found out something amazing. There were no explosions like with gasoline; only a very small flash. So Hydrogen could be used as a non-polluting fuel, it would illuminated the burning deaths gasoline caused, and with the huge profits at the time we could begin building an infrastructure that would allow a smooth switch over to Hydrogen fuel at existing stations. What is not to love? Only the Big Oil companies did not want to do it and National Government could not care less either so here we are 40 years later no further down the path than when I graduated from college and I'm turning 69 years old. How sad and short sighted. If the nation and the research had be intensified we might by now be able to fill your car with distilled water. Pass the distilled water through a separator to separate the Hydrogen from the oxygen then inject the hydrogen into the drive process and fire it with the oxygen then cool the exhaust back into and condense it back into the reservoir to be recycled. No population and fill your tank with distilled water. No oil, no nations holding America over the oil drum, what a different nation we would live in. But greed and self interest rules just like when Tesla wanted to offer free energy to everyone. Why that was crazy when you can charge everyone for what they get.
