Miracle fuels are scams.

Repackaged hydrogen? The energy has to come from somewhere: either fossil fuels like natural gas, or from electricity which is predominantly coal-based. It reminds me of the fiasco that is the hydrogen fuel cell, which entered the national dialog not on their technical merits, but due to the backing of an idiot President who landed on an aircraft carrier and wanted to send people to Mars.

If this one can be blended with gasoline like ethanol, then it has the potential to be interesting, but I'll believe it when I read about it in a scientific journal or in a report from the Dept of Energy.
