**New Alternative-Fuel SUV Will Deplete World’s Hydrogen By 2070**

DETROIT - Ford announced a Sept. 3 rollout date for its new Ford Foresight, a hydrogen-powered SUV that, if it reaches sales projections, will deplete the earth’s supply of hydrogen by 2070. “America has asked for a car that does not use fossil fuels, and we’ve delivered,” Ford CEO William Ford Jr. said Monday. "With an engine nearly 20 times as powerful as that of our gas-burning SUV, the 11-ton Foresight will be unaffected by the price-gouging whims of OPEC, as it uses water electrolysis to gather fuel from the oceans and the fresh mountain air. **" Ford acknowledged that, when hydrogen supplies are depleted, the usefulness of the Foresight, as well as life on earth as we know it, will end.**

I think we should just use helium.

so what if a few million blow up in the process.

Lovely! 😛

Can’t we use the energy yield from the fusion of hydrogen instead? (That is of course assuming that fusion is implemented in the coming years.)

I don’t think fusion reactions will “deplete” world’s hydrogen supply. For one of it’s products is a hydrogen isotope.

I rather they figure out how to use the gas inside my body. I could power a bus.

2070? We’ll all be dead by then anyway – or close to it at least.

Lets stop using fossil fuels and start using hydrogen so our non-existant grandchildren can enjoy the planet just like we do!

I really think Ford is missing the point of giving fossil fuels here.
