The Water-Powered Car
If you’re interested in explaining to someone that a “water-powered car” is theoretically impossible, you might want to start with the idea that water is the product of combusting hydrogen with oxygen or the use of hydrogen in a fuel-cell. You can’t use the product of a reaction to power the next reaction.
Think about this for a second. When you build a fire in your fireplace, can you simply use the ashes from a previous fire as fuel, do you need new, unburned logs that still contain the chemical energy necessary to heat your room?
In my quest to find solid renewable energy business plans, I come across this crap constantly. When I explain (briefly) that the idea violates the laws of physics, specifically the first and second laws of thermodynamics, the guy on the other end of the phone often asks, “Well, wouldn’t you like to see our prototype?”
My response: Sorry, no. What you’re saying has no more credibility than a claim that you can change stones into sweet potatoes or cats into dogs.
My brother and I are typical Boomers, given that our father fought in the Second World War, and we came along in the 1950s.
Most of what these people claim about their wave energy generation machine may be correct. The part about “low cost,” however, is dead wrong, which is why the world has given up on this and all other forms of hydrokinetics, except the hobbyists who are focusing on niche applications.
The takeaway here seems to be that all ethnicities and genders are susceptible to “the con.”
One of the most often discussed topic in America is the weird dichotomy between the Christian right and the followers of the teachings of Jesus.
At left are the words of former Republican U.S. representative Joe Walsh who makes the point that the character of the U.S. president is an important aspect of his qualifications to serve in that office.
At this point in U.S. history, it’s appropriate to pose the question once again: Couldn’t the Founding Fathers have done a better job to ensure we never found ourselves in this position?

As shown here, a Fox News poll shows that most Americans oppose what Trump and Musk are doing.
Almost all Americans respect and admire Canada and the generally kind, intelligent, and respectful people who make their homes there. Accordingly, we are appalled at our country’s decision to attack one of our oldest and finest friends.
