      Hi Joeyyguan,

      Hmm, that’s a great question! I think if I really had so much money I would contact all the best scientists in my field and ask them to work together to solve the problem. This might take a lot of money to get them all in one place but hopefully with so many great minds, and so much money available to pay for any equipment of experiments we would be able to come to a solution quicker!

      Thanks for the question! Hattie.

      Wow Joeyyguan – what a great question!

      I would use all of the money in the world to train great scientists and pay them to do research into allowing everyone in the world to have clean drinking water. We are so lucky to be able to turn on our taps and have an abundant supply of clean water, but many others dont, so I’d use the money to change this 🙂

      Hi Joey!

      Wow, tough one! Same as Hattie and Emily first I’d get an awesome team of scientists together. I’d get them to work on how to make lots of hydrogen from water and also how to store it afterwards (as hydrogen is a gas this can be quite tricky). With money as no object we’d be able to buy lots of great equipment and all the materials we would need, so hopefully this would help speed up the research.

      Next I’d probably start mass-producing hydrogen cars at a loss, this way if everyone has one materials get a lot cheaper and hydrogen becomes much more available. After that I’d start building lots of hydrogen stations all over the country in petrol stations, so people would be able to fuel their hydrogen cars!
