nation also we can go through the Hydrogen Fuel which can be extracted to the distilled
water by electrofusion where the hydrogen is coming from water mixed with sulfite to
produce hydrogen and the hydrogen will be the fuel which is no emitting gas nor heat. It is
really good for all vehicles and it easy to transform once gas fuel engine to Hydrogen fuel
engine.
b. For commuters
