Water as a Fuel

[Ginger]

Any of the "major" oil companies are going to be investigating alternative energies as a matter of livlihood. The conspiracists who claim that they're silencing alternative markets haven't thought the idea through. It's a cartelistic idea that doesn't hold water (hah hah, no pun intended).

The potential for profit of a competitive alternative energy source is huge. If somebody could produce an alternative that could be quickly adoptable and consistently cheaper than oil they would expanding both the market's supplies and it's producers. The price of fuel would have to radpidly adjust and the amount of money stood to be made in such alternative energy is unthinkably large. For this reason you'll not only see oil companies not silencing these ideas, but researching them instead.

In the event that an alternative solution is doscovered you can be darn sure that it's not going to get hidden. It's a pretty solid principle that if a single company discovers it then they're going to market it as quickly as possible. In the multiple companies conspiracy theory, though, what about that? It'll be a rush to see who can get it first, or something to that effect. It won't be squashed - because the potential for one company to pull the rug out from the under the other and take the solution to market is too great.
