PERIOD. > > if not for the environment or anything else, be open minded to the use of hydrogen to better your own life. even with selfish and closed minded thinking hydrogen still makes sense. by far the best post you’ve ever made and I couldn’t agree more with it all. :thumbup:thumbup --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wikileaks-saudi-arabia-running-out-of-oil/256864)._
