The DOE has carried out tests of at least a couple of commercial electrolyzers recently, but that seems to be the limit of progress toward a viable hydrogen economy. Hydrogen, as Poul la Cour realized long ago, is an excellent storage and transmission material. It can be used immediately in existing hydrogen enriched natural gas truck engines, or compressed or made into hydrides for storage and shipping. It can be added to our present natural gas pipelines in increasing amounts as more wind farms are developed.

Our big problem is how to strongly stimulate the Obama administration to the point where they will take action now to implement our own hydrogen economy rather than wait for other countries to get so far ahead of us that we never catch up.

Burning one of a number of fossile fuels to make another form of energy is ludicrous, its far too wastefull.

The main problem lies in the internal comustion engine which burn whatever fuel is made because 80 percent of any energy that is burned in it is wasted.

If you use 3 times as much energy to get another, in this case its hydrogen and then burn it in the I C E

then you have a further 80 % loss, its a no brainer from the very start, don’t do it.

O SOLE MEO

This is where we will eventually get our erergy, we just don’t know how to do it, or should I say we do know how to do it, but not at large enough ammounts to supply our greedy wastefull ways.

I think every penny from fuel profits should be chanelled into finding our energy needs, since the advent of oil our governments have spent nothing but a token amount into finding this technology, they have done ziltch, and time is running out fast every day we expand our population and build yet another truck, car and plane.

We have all the power sources our forfathers had, wind, water and sun, do some reserch into the river that runs past your door or town and see how much energy is flowing away.

A local river here used to have 15 mills in only a mile and a half stretch of its waterway, if every river was plumbed into the grid, we would have thousands of smaller turbines etc working for us, if a few went down no one would notice, localcouncils waste more money every year they could easily build at least one power plant, take a large power station out for a day and there would be utter chaos.

We know where we could help our cause, yet we do nothing, its like banging your head against a wall and expecting it not to hurt.

The lightweight Smart car-size vehicle uses hydrogen … converted from natural gas.

The conversion from natural gas releases carbon dioxide.
