"I've spent about 10 hours on a re-draft"

Yesterday and today combined

In which I wrote an entirely new essay and I still know she'll moan.

I can't read it or work at it ever again though or I'll explode.

My brain is drained and me so tired

Thanks to Bellandy though who gave me some good links

Water is such an invaluable resource that many of the conflicts (especially in the Middle East between Arab/non Arab nations) have been instigated in an attempt to occupy territory that contains a major water source. The 6 day war is one such example, when the Israelis seized control of all the major aquifers in the region, thus giving them total control.

There have also been skirmishes over proposals by countries to build dams, as that would ensure that that particular country would again be in control of a major and vital asset.

Oil may keep vehicles alive, water keeps humans alive and as such is far more important, unless you are an American President it seems.

I fill my car up with Sunflower Oil instead of petrol to save tax.

No, I am only 15 :(

Is it one of those philisophical questions, where water will become so scarce that it will become more profitable than oil?

Or is it the geeky scientific stuff that other posters have mentioned?

Just say to her, 'Don't mug yourself love.'

Oil is made of many combustable parts which are usually long chained polymers such are petroleum or deisel fuel. Water on the other hand is made of mostly Hydrogen and Oxygen but with a few Isotopes which arent important.

They main point you need to see is electrolysis of water. They 'breaking' up of water into Hydrogen and Oxygen which can be burnt together in the ratio 2-1 to produce energy and water essentially a clean fuel if the source eletrolysis is clean eg solar power.

its very effiecent and very clean but hard to manage, for instance hard to store hydrogen and to transfer it to say a car with the added dissadvantage of things called Hydrogen fuel cells which are often Heavy metal matrixes to hold Hydrogen in a stable form although they cant hold much hydrogen safely at the moment. Its definely they way to the future but realistically only in the future.

Hope this helps

Actually, oil is made up of Hydrogen and Carbon.
So your half way there.
Sort of.
:-D

What subject is this for?
