British scientists 'invent artificial petrol' that could cost just 90p per GALLON (and there's no carbon).
Hydrogen-based fuel produces no greenhouse gases so could help nations slash their carbon footprint.
It is due to be available at the pumps in three to five years.
Artificial petrol that costs 19p per liter could be on forecourts in as little as three years.
British scientists are refining the recipe for a hydrogen-based fuel that will run in existing cars and engines at the fraction of the cost of conventional petrol.
With hydrogen at its heart rather than carbon, it will not produce any harmful emissions when burnt, making it better for the environment, as well as easier on the wallet.
The first road tests are due next year and, if all goes well, the cut-price ‘petrol’ could be on sale in three to five years.

Antarctic Sea ice is growing
We are always bombarded about the global warming and the melting ice in the Arctic, but how many of us know that actually the Antarctic Sea ice is growing despise the global warming?
For years scientists have puzzled over how the sea surface temperature around Antarctica has risen, but sea ice there has been increasing at the same time.
For the past 30 years, the Arctic sea ice has been decreasing while Antarctic sea ice has been increasing, this has always troubled the scientists.
In Discovery News now there is an article that explains how that is happening.
