Environmentally Clean Car

The latest 'clean' car (environmentally friendly by virtue of NOT producing CO2) is a ridiculous hoax. A hoax since it is misrepresented as something real (and virtuous). It is nothing more than a selling point by falsely claiming truth. This is cynicism at its very best (or worst - DA). To yield power out of a system and still conserve energy, requires that some form of power is put into the system. So, the car that runs on compressed air or the electric car: where does the energy come from to compress the air or how is the electricity produced that reaches the socket to which the battery is connected?

Next will be the car powered by water. It sounds good, but just cannot work unless the fission of water can be effected and that means splitting water in a low energy process with the fission producing more energy out than required to split the water in the first place. This is unlikely.

Nothing in: nothing out
