OT: diesel fuel: why isn't it cheaper than gasoline?

I fast realized the Charter couldn't be used in that context and shouldn't have brought it up, sorry, I was mistaken, it created a strange bunch of posts.

As I think I mentioned then, your posts are meant to bait and as such I for one take offense at them. Man you won your point a 'long' time ago and your continued baiting and shooting of unarmed people like in the header of this post is getting really tiresome.

'OT' means you are intentionally breaking the Charter now and telling everyone in the group to screw off about it because 'You' want to fight with someone, soo.......

In reply to a previous argument in this thread (my newsserver has deleted all previous posts) regarding hydrogen fuel:

That's a honking huge amount of construction, waste generation and consumed energy to produce ... not a lot of fuel. Probably better in the long run to use the generating plant to recharge electric-automobile batteries. Hydrogen is like stupidity: They are the most commonly occurring things in the universe, but is usually bound to something else and you can't do very much useful with either of them.

Have you considered the accidental fire problem with hydrogen? You can't see the flame in daylight. It'll make responding to automobile collisions are real adventure.

It's still a comparatively infantile energy idea with little supportive research funds and a huge opposition (gas companies). Still tho, given the advances they've made recently it could very quickly become an efficient alternative.

There was a journal article I read at school one day about a guy in the US who'se been working on a synthetic photosynthesis technique for quite some time now. If he manages to successfully do what plants do (use sunlight to convert H20 & CO2 into it's parts) then there is a potential there as well for Hydrogen-based fuel. Storage may be a problem now ...but again ...give 'em time.

A quick google search and I got this:
