  • Di-Hydrogen Monoxide: The hidden danger in Hydrogen fuels

    The Greenies and eco-freaks would have us believe that hydrogen powered vehicles are a safe alternative to burning hydrocarbons, but they are leaving out some very important details about the toxic byproducts (most importantly Di-Hydrogen Monoxide) of hydrogen combustion. The following information was taken from the Di-Hydrogen Monoxide Awareness website and reveals the true dangers of this underrated and toxic chemical.


    Should I be concerned about Dihydrogen Monoxide?
    Yes, you should be concerned about DHMO! Although the U.S. Government and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) do not classify Dihydrogen Monoxide as a toxic or carcinogenic substance (as it does with better known chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and benzene), DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful.

    Research conducted by award-winning U.S. scientist Nathan Zohner concluded that roughly 86 percent of the population supports a ban on dihydrogen monoxide. Although his results are preliminary, Zohner believes people need to pay closer attention to the information presented to them regarding Dihydrogen Monoxide. He adds that if more people knew the truth about DHMO then studies like the one he conducted would not be necessary.


    A similar study conducted by U.S. researchers Patrick K. McCluskey and Matthew Kulick also found that nearly 90 percent of the citizens participating in their study were willing to sign a petition to support an outright ban on the use of Dihydrogen Monoxide in the United States.

    What are some of the dangers associated with DHMO?
    Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are: Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
    Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
    Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
    DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
    Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
    Contributes to soil erosion.
    Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
    Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
    Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
    Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
    Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.
    Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere, and in hurricanes including deadly storms in Florida, New Orleans and other areas of the southeastern U.S.
    Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.


    What are some uses of Dihydrogen Monoxide?
    Despite the known dangers of DHMO, it continues to be used daily by industry, government, and even in private homes across the U.S. and worldwide. Some of the well-known uses of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:

    as an industrial solvent and coolant,
    in nuclear power plants,
    by the U.S. Navy in the propulsion systems of some older vessels,
    by elite athletes to improve performance,
    in the production of Styrofoam,
    in biological and chemical weapons manufacture,
    in the development of genetically engineering crops and animals,
    as a spray-on fire suppressant and retardant,
    in so-called "family planning" or "reproductive health" clinics,
    as a major ingredient in many home-brewed bombs,
    as a byproduct of hydrocarbon combustion in furnaces and air conditioning compressor operation,
    in cult rituals,
    by the Church of Scientology on their members and their members' families (although surprisingly, many members recently have contacted DHMO.org to vehemently deny such use),
    by both the KKK and the NAACP during rallies and marches,
    by members of Congress who are under investigation for financial corruption and inappropriate IM behavior,
    by the clientele at a number of bath houses in New York City and San Francisco,
    historically, in Hitler's death camps in Nazi Germany, and in prisons in Turkey, Serbia, Croatia, Libya, Iraq and Iran,
    in World War II prison camps in Japan, and in prisons in China, for various forms of torture,
    during many recent religious and ethnic wars in the Middle East,
    by many terrorist organizations including al Quaeda,
    in community swimming pools to maintain chemical balance,
    in day care centers, purportedly for sanitary purposes,
    by software engineers, including those producing DICOM software SDKs,
    in animal research laboratories, and
    in pesticide production and distribution.

      I'll bet some of those "studies" were funded by taxpayer dollars.

          Wow. DHMO should be banned.

              I know. But in spite of the fact that this dangerous chemical now pollutes most of the Earth's surface, it isn't too late to do something about it. I encourage everyone to write to their representatives and demand that DHMO pollution be made into an election issue.

              After all:

                I think what Lori et al meant to say is you should hop in a time machine to 1994 when everybody else and their mother and their brother already picked up on this gag.

                  Recent studies have proven that are oceans are just filled with this stuff.

                    I don't know about 1994, but yeah it's old.

                    I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

                        It originated as early as 1990 and was on teh interwebs in 1994, but granted it didn't get widespread exposure until 1997. Or so wiki tells me.

                          I don't believe I've EVER heard that hydrogen fuel was a "safer" fuel in the way you're implying environmentalists have sold it as, Thoth.

                          Oh, and lol OP Godwin's itself LOL

                          Fail.
