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.

Thanks for reminding me of The Onion. I had not been there for a while... Good stuff.

you realize that hydrogen fuel vehicles have H2O as a 'waste' by-product, right? Hydrogen is an element; it is impossible to deplete it without some sort of neclear-type reaction to change it's quantam make-up.
