The future is here in the "Aptera". Check out their website. It is a very SMART car and very beautiful. The hybrid version runs a gas engine which only keeps the batteries charged. Totally electrically driven.

Look it up. In 1996, Stan Myer seen on YouTube, invented a water electrolysis device that separates Hydrogen from water. He also invented a spark plug that did the electrolysis right at the engine block as the water was being injected. He mysteriously died of food poisoning one day after he signed a contract with the U.S. military to make a 50 ... See MoreMillion dollar test facility into his idea. People ALL over Youtube are doing it. Type "Hydrogen Fuel Cell" in Youtube and see what you get! WE HAVE the technology to run cars on WATER but the U.S. Government and other govs are so up Big Oil's ass, and skimming off HUGE profits into their own pockets for allowing it to continue, they will never allow it happen because it's free energy that they can not profit from. It's no different from the magnetic electric motor that an australian man invented that could power your house for free by magnetics. Good luck ever getting governments to shut down Electric companies that make profits on your electricity OR cars that run on free water fuel. It'll never happen due to greedy corrupt politicians that run our countries. Furthermore, TESLA proved you could get FREE electricity right from the air we breath, in the form of electro magnetic radiation from outer space but the funding stopped because the person funding it said to Tesla, "Where do I put the meter!?" The power is in the masses. If a thousand people got together and produced and sold these things, with instructions how to show a thousand more to do it, we'd overtake the government's control of our energy and produce our own clean energy and once the masses have it, they could not stop it. But one? They always get threatened or die. It is WE the people who have the true power over them and only until people get tired of paying $3.00/gallon to the Saudi's that want to kill us, will it ever stop! Imagine if we got fuel from water and no longer needed gasoline. Can you imagine what the Saudis would do if the world stopped using gasoline? They'd no longer be angry at America, and no longer have a prosperous economy. Before they'd go bankrupt they'd drop the price to cents for a gallon and beg people to come back! WE have the power to do something, the problem is, no one speaks up and does something. And if one does without the masses, that one gets a visit from government black suits and is threatened along with their family to stop their quest or they'll disappear or worse their family will. When ALL band together and put this out with directions how to build your own, then and only then will we see true control over our own futures, a cleaner environment, and a boost in our world's economy because we won't be blowing $300 a month on gasoline and god knows whatever the electric company feels like raising it to next month.

Not sure if money spent is denmark is as smart as Tokyo project. Would consider how US awareness can be exponentially fomented, as gas prices rose again so much in last 12 months........"its backers will have to persuade consumers to move away from the internal-combustion engines that characterized motor vehicles for more than a century, while also... See More winning the support of major automakers...."
Citizens self interest served by 1 minute recharge and complete liberation from inimical oil providers is much more powerful to capitalize on then global warming bogey man.....
