Cheap Hydrogen
 
Cheap hydrogen production? If they succeed to produce a cost-effectively safe system they may have a winner there!

I'm still skeptical l but I wish they prove me wrong :bigthink:

They will probably succeed in producing an inexpensive product, BUT DON'T BE FOOLED, there will be no savings of any kind for the consumer.

Well kind of like these new gas powered cars.

OK kids I cleaned this one up, now play nice. :biggrin2:

I don't think hydrogen will ever make it's way into any kind of consumer application. It's highly explosive, has 1/4 the energy density of gasoline by volume, it's hard to transport, hard to distribute etc. Maybe for industrial applications, but we've been burning stuff for our energy needs since the caveman days, maybe it's time to move on. The generation of nearly free energy should be the goal of man kind. With nearly free energy you can grow crops in the desert, desalinate ocean water, live independently, and solve all of humanity's problems.

Iwe need to go back to the 60s and 70s when all the cars had big blocks and got 8 miles to the gallon, nobodies ever done a bada$$ burnout in a Prius.:biggrin2:

So I'm not the only skeptical here! But we just talking about a cheap way of producing clean energy, not the most secure or efficient energy density per sq ft. Otherwise we just power every car or truck on the road with Bio fuel.

Where I live electric offer only 50% of their EPA rating in winter so this kind of free energy is not an option for us up North until super capacitor or a new kind of electric high capacity storage became a reality.

Free energy? I believe Tesla had it over 100 years ago. Too bad we don't appreciate these great minds like we should in their own time. Einstein knew, when they asked him what it was like to be a genius and he told them to go ask Tesla. The world may never see another like him again.
