While I tend to agree with Lauren that there is a lot of garbage being passed around as truth, I have to wonder why our cars aren't powered by liquid hydrogen (a non-polluting fuel) rather than gasoline. And a host of other similar questions. There is all too much evidence that people tend to follow their own, very limited, self-interest, rather than look for ways to benefit themselves while providing for the common good. I have no idea whether this alleged invention is or is not what it claims to be, but I am sure there are people out there who think it will endanger their livelihood and would be only too happy to suppress it. -- Blessed Be, Jeff Hull {decvax,hplabs,ihnp4,scdrdcf,ucbvax} 13817 Yukon Ave. trwrb!trwspp!spp2!jhull Hawthorne, CA 90250
