Hydrogen Technology Steams Ahead
Could the cars and laptops of the future be fuelled by old chip fat? Engineers at the University of Leeds believe so, and are developing an energy efficient, environmentally-friendly hydrogen production system. The system enables hydrogen to be extracted from waste materials, such as vegetable oil and the glycerol by-product of bio-diesel. The aim is to create the high purity hydrogen-based fuel necessary not only for large-scale power production, but also for smaller portable fuel cells.

That would be nice, if we can have really cheap energy to do this.
Remember we have to use energy to produce the goods, make the hydrogen and eat to live.
and not last but least, asking for cheaper oil is good, but you will have to reduce the cost of steel, the cost of diesel,the cost of shipping, the cost of paper, the cost of communications, the cost of etc etc.
Oil has burbled along nicely at less than the inflation of other goods, yet you are asking the industry to reduce the cost of a barrel but take huge hits on other inflation riddled goods. A bit of something for nothing. Business is business as they say.
(scuse the dialog tired la)
