Why doesn't the oil company sell the waterfueled cars?

Answer 1

For the same reason the medecine companies don't sell the cure for cancer!

Answer 2

The cars you're thinking of are hydrogen powered, and they produce water as exhaust. Oil companies don't sell them because they want to make money off people burining oil. No company is going to sell a competitor's product.

Answer 3

There is no one oil company there are many. Also water is not a viable fuel for a car. However Hydrogen is if it were safe and affordable but it isnt YET but even the oil companies are working on it. Hydrogens only by product or emmissions is water, after bieng used as a fuel. But there is no such thing as a water fueled anything. Maybe steam but that is old news and highly innefective for a small vehicle.

Answer 4

Simple. It's because of the money involved. Think about it for a second. Right now, people buy oil (in the form of gasoline) for their cars, mowers, etc. Part of this goes to the gas station, part of this goes to the government, some goes to the shipping companies, and the rest goes to the oil company in the Middle East (more than likely if it is imported oil). The reason why the Middle Eastern countries are profiting are because of oil. With oil, the world turns as it is able to utilize this fossil fuel for factories and car, which produce jobs and products, which in turn consumers buy products, etc.

It is a very complex economic cycle.

Now, if you push out water-powered cars, for one thing, water is cheap. Heck, you can get water to run a a car for FREE. Thus:

- Job loss as gas sations/transport/shipping do not sell/ship oil at all or as much any more
- Jobs lost at American oil companies stakes across the US
- The middle eastern economy would collapse, thus in turn skyrocketing gas prices so the companies can stay afloat amidst the low demand for oil, which in turn would increase production costs for companies who use energy based on oil, which in turn would mean higher prices for consumers, which means less buying of products = less demand, which means less jobs = less money for people, etc.

Overall, the introduction of water powered cars would cripple the world economy to a depression/chaoitic state that would surpass even the depression in the 1930's

Thus, oil must be used for now, and when runs out, I feel that the major world governments would then push not only water power cars, but also a full force of alternate energy to continue produciton not only in their own countries, but as a power move against other countries as well, although this is more of an opinion and speculation.

Hope this answers your question.

And also, you can't overcharge for water. Oil companies want money. They don't mix.


::EDIT:: For those of you that are saying there is no such thing as waterfueled cars, believe it or not, YES THERE IS. The technology exists, and it has been done (use the internet to search for it: a guy was able to do it but somehow died a year later...)

Yes, you can't "burn" water, but you can use the water molecules as a source of energy by electrolysis. Don't believe me? Do your research and check out http://waterpoweredcar.com/stanmeyer.html It can be done, but for reasons mentioned above, it won't be done

Answer 5

Oil companies don't sell any cars.

Answer 6

Uhhh, ok....First, go to the kitchen and light up a glass of water, then tell us how it works out.

If you are thinking of Fuel Cells, they are powered by a fuel, and produce water as a byproduct.

Hybrids cars are here now and GM sells cars that run on alcohol. Try those.

Water fueled cars, heh, heh, Thats a good one.

Answer 7

You can't "burn" water to get any more energy. Thermodynamically impossible. So there is no such thing as a "waterfueled" car.

Answer 8

would youu buy one?
