Using urine for fuel

We soon may all be driving urine powered cars.
All of a sudden dragging kids and incontinent codgers along on a roadtrip makes sense. Seems a bunch of scientists are close to turning urine into fuel.
Researchers at Ohio University made hydrogen from urine using a process that cost just a fraction of making hydrogen from water.
Making hydrogen power is important because some auto engineers think hydrogen is the way to getting rid of gasoline powered vehicles.
Geraldine Botte and her team used the proven fact that hydrogen in urea is easier to break down via electrodes.
Until now, Botte has used fake urine, but she is certain human urine could be used just as easily and effectively.
Eventually local sewage plants may turn into giant hydrogen producing centers.
