Now I know that there is probably an obvious answer to this, but I can't think of it off the top of my head. Perhaps it is to expensive to create. Since pure oxygen is combustible, why can't we use it as an alternative energy source? Is it too explosive and not possible to control? Or perhaps it takes more energy to create than it puts out? Or some other reason?
