I've heard similar ideas: why not put little turbines on electric cars to generate electricity to recharge the batteries?



Lookout for another scheme, especially in California these days: Desalination.

Desal is sold as easy to do, just use solar power.

Well, in fact it won't go that way, they use natural gas and it's really expensive and it's a way to make water but also a way to charge bottled water prices for what comes out of your tap.

Nestle and other global companies have been buying up smaller municipal water utilities over the past several years.

Water is the next oil.
