I'm sure your approval of his research into alternate fuels is VERY comforting to him.

Hey why don't you play symantic games some more...
A. The FUEL is WATER. Just because it's converted doesn't make it ANY less amazing.

B. Not sure how anyone is still arguing the welding point considering the QUOTE (which I've already put in a previous post) below:

Welding
Aquygen™ Gas can weld glass, copper, aluminum, and carbon steel.

So sounds like it can weld to me...

The second station my friends father owned has been shut down and boarded up for over 10 years... BECAUSE THEY WON'T LET ANYONE open another business besides gas there and the gas station keep going under because it's got too much competition. Maybe that's CT only but I don't see how... I've NEVER worked at a gas station that didn't have all sorts of EPA restrictions on it's land.

If the water is as efficient as stated by it's proponents then there would be NO financial viability in either converting a gas station to hold water NOR to have water distribution centers... YES that's an opinion... however I'd like to see an arguement that contradicts it. If they used 4oz or whatever for 100mile trip... YOU WON"T NEED TO FILL UP THAT OFTEN... AND the profit margins will be REDICULOUSLY lower than Fossil Fuels... the reason oil companies make so much money is that they ALREADY HAVE the refineries and the distribution network... Changing over to water would sink them... THEN they'd be good an buried once they tried to earn a profit selling what even 50 gallons of WATER a week to the average consumer?.

Right well, I'm not a welder by trade but I've done my fair share of welding with just a torch. And frankly to say that's not welding is borderline retarded...
