Thinking Outside the Box and Into the Urinal
There's some things you hear and have a hard time really processing, and using urine as a source of cheap hydrogen fuel via electrolysis is far up on the list.
Quick stats: Potentially 90 miles to a gallon. Water takes 1.23 volts to be split and release hydrogen, while Urea only takes about .37 volts, making it more efficient for hydrogen production.

Halloween 2020
Trick or treaters have already started to arrive in their bright and colorful costumes. Most of them have various shake lights attached as well as reflectors, making them visible to cars.
Candy has been de-emphasized over the years due to the damage it can cause, but a lot of sugar free substitutions still make the grade. A lot of the left over candies from the year are broken down for biofuels.

Hunger in Florida

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
