Convert your existing car to run off hydrogen.
I remember hearing, in 8th grade.........let me count...........no 7th......18 years ago, that we can run a city with a bucket of water from the ocean using fission.
Convert your existing car to run off hydrogen.
how big is the bucket? how big is the city? and for how long?
=-p
lol

No dude, we are both wrong, but u did alert me to a new fact. So, thanks.
And, for everyone's info... hydrogen fusion is what the sun is. We don't have that technology.

The program is anticipated to last for 30 years - 10 years for construction, and 20 years of operation - and cost approximately â?¬10 billion. After many years of deliberation, the participants announced in June, 2005 that ITER will be built in Cadarache, France.
The name is an acronym; ITER stands for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor and 'iter' means 'the way' in Latin. The double meaning allows the name to be used as a reference to ITER being the way to harnessing nuclear fusion as a peaceful power source.
ITER is intended to be an experimental step between today's studies of plasma physics and future electricity-producing fusion power plants. It is technically ready to start construction and the first plasma operation is expected in 2015.

Not sure. Elected Earth Science over Physics in high school.
I learned that it was for an 'entire' city. Again, this was by my 7th grade teacher, Mr. Jung.

... im to stoned for this right now

we're already using up too much of our soil too fast, just trying to feed everybody. I dont' think we need to exhuast our soils nutrients for fuel as well.

Fission is the process. Opposite of fusion.

no no i just got my thoughts mixxed up and what i was talking about was hydrogen - tritium fission lol my bad.
Also i go this off of a site
"a gallon of seawater could produce as much energy as 300 gallons of gasoline"

Cool, now I know I wasn't taught a bunch of crap in middle school. Well, I was, at least not that part.
It seems to me like that would be able to run two cities with one bucket of water.

The splitting of the atoms is where the great release of energy is.
