[Eug-lug] OT -- electric car

Wow, this DHMO stuff is a heavy topic!  http://www.dhmo.org/coverup.html
Fortunately hydrogen is less of a component in DHMO that in propane or other
common sources, so hopefully the hydrogen we use will come primarily from
long hydrocarbon chains, which are *very* efficient to store in liquid form,
due to a relatively static number of molecules per liter (so larger/longer
molecules store more hydrogen in the same liquid volume).
I've heard that DHMO can be a byproduct of some hydrogen energy extraction
methods, though, which is surely a concern.  Think of the children!!

ciao,

ben

PS - Yes, I know, "Ice Pirates".  I mean, DHMO - I *know*!  ;)
