Very true. It is just that when it happens, we ecomodders would prefer not to be associated with it.
The oil barrel was an economy contraption, very bad.
When we want this all to do some good we better focus on other properties. Kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.

Your ricer runs nicer on a barrel of HHO.
Coal rolls fine on hydrogen chlorine (if they think it rhymes we have the right demographic profile).
Hydrogen fluorine turns your Hummer into a true killer.
That kind of stuff.
All for the good cause. Save the children, be nice to pets, world peace now, etc.
