Many areas aroung the world have droughts on a regular basis so not enough to drink let alone power a car. California has been on 40% usage for 2 years what do you think would happen if all their cars ran on water too?

    But the city I live in does not allow solar panels at private residences inside the city limits. However the government and schools can use tax payer resources to put them up on their buildings. Also across the river (which private citizens are not allowed to even drill wells close to and steal those resources from whom the government allots them to) They have an old coal powered power plant they closed down and were going to switch to solar but apparently the solar arrays will interfere with the local turtle population.

    Also I rent the land lord may take a dim view of my modifying the domicile plus since it costs more to instal then the energy you will save since the local utility gets any excess energy you do not use and does not pay you for it is it really a good idea.

    I think maybe I will pack up my VX and head to Russia to regain my freedom
