      Well Russel, petrol is definitely a fuel source that is running out so we are going to have to look to other fuel sources. Water is one option but there are still dangers with this method which need to be looked into. For example the water would be turned into hydrogen as part of this process which is a very flammable gas. Also, currently the process to make the energy from water takes a lot of energy itself. So it is not a very efficient method.

      More research definitely needs to be done is my opinion! But who knows what advancements will be made in the future…
