Please excuse the ludicrous Google Ads
You know the ones...
"Hydrogen Car Exposed!!"
"Run your car on WATER!!"
Yes they're embarrassing, and I've set up the Google account to filter them out, but it's taking its sweet time getting the job done.
I'll be
sadly
disappointed if it turns out they're the only ads Google thinks is suited to the site!

I actually made a donation yesterday to get rid of that exact ad...
Seriously, I made a donation cause the information I found on this site has been invaluable, but I have to agree this add is somewhat embarrassing.

I was thinking you could add something like "A donation to this site will remove ads like this that scam your money!" right above or below where the ad gets placed on the web site.

I like clicking on those adds just to see what the pitch and info is. It can be entertaining.
Do donations make the adds go away, or does that mean you just get more
