How to solve our future energy dilemma? Piss on it.

The most likely source of energy in the future (aside from wind, geothermal and solar) will be hydrogen. The problem with that is how to get it. It costs energy to separate hydrogen from other elements, which kind of defeats the purpose. But recently, scientists at Ohio University have discovered a way to separate the hydrogen from a very common source of the element with much less power than is needed to separate it from water.

The magical fluid? Urine. That's right - in the near future, we could be creating hydrogen to power our homes, farms and vehicles from pee. The article suggests that one cow produces enough urine to heat hot water with hydrogen for 19 homes.
