The title is not a fluke. \u00a0In truth, we will most likely see production vehicles much sooner.<\/p>\n

\n

Most people who live in cities don’t understand why the country needs an Ag bill. \u00a0Most people, like Mitt Romney and his baker, are Ag-stupid. \u00a0The vast majority of kids these days think food comes from a store, it just magically appears there. \u00a0You see, the Ag-stupid baker can get business interruption insurance from any number of companies. \u00a0The only “business interruption” insurance a farmer can purchase is in the form of crop insurance which insurance companies don’t issue without the backing of an Ag bill.<\/p>\n

Many years ago the food stamp program (now called SNAP) got tied to the Ag bill, not because it should have been, but because the bulk of the population had become Ag-stupid so that was the only way to get a Ag bill passed. \u00a0This is not a freebie or a hand out to farmers as has been touted so fraudulently in the press. \u00a0This is how we fund not only the research necessary to feed a world population quickly approaching 9 billion, but the research necessary to completely eliminate the crude oil market and our involvement in the middle east.<\/p>\n

We don’t currently have an Ag bill. \u00a0Why? \u00a0Well, basically, a party whose upper mucky-mucks are owned lock stock and two smoking 55 gallon drums by “big oil” and who run on a platform of “drill baby drill<\/a>” found out that research funded by the Ag bill removed the last hurdle to eliminating the oil industry as far as fuel for cars, trucks, busses, and tractor trailers were concerned. \u00a0For years, nay decades, I had people telling me it wasn’t possible to use electricity to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen to form the perfect fuel. \u00a0Well, research at an Ag department of a major university which one way or another gets funding from the Ag bill,\u00a0has finally solved this problem<\/a>. \u00a0To quote the article:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

The $3.75-million pilot plant uses electricity from a nearby 1.65-megawatt (MW) wind turbine to separate hydrogen from water, and N from air.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

True, they did it while trying to make fertilizer, but they solved the last major hurdle. \u00a0They solved a problem people heavily invested in “big oil” kept trying to stop everyone from working on. \u00a0This, quite frankly, is the last major hurdle. \u00a0We already have hybrid cars like the Chevy Volt which use batteries and switch to gas when voltage gets low. \u00a0Now, we can have the electricity driving the wheels go through one more circuit to split water from a 5-10 gallon tank and store it in a 2-10 gallon hydrogen tank. \u00a0When the batteries get low instead of starting the gas engine they can start the\u00a0H2ICE<\/a> (hydrogen internal combustion engine) which will generate electricity to run the car, charge the battery, and split more water.<\/p>\n

We are literally just a couple of years from using a standard household 3-pronged plug and a garden hose to power our daily commuting. \u00a0Filling stations will now be selling tap water and 5 minute charges along with soda and cigarettes.<\/p>\n

Of course, this requires everybody to vote out of office anyone who ever stood on the “drill baby drill” platform or blocked\/voted against the last Ag bill.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
