Well, that was NOT very informative.

Hydrogen does not exist freely in "pools" waiting to be found. It takes energy to free hydrogen from water... and get this: the amount of energy released from hydrogen combustion is equal to the electric energy required to create it minus inefficinecies (research Gibbs Free Energy). Hydogen at its best, currently, is an energy storage material, a battery if you will. Until some catalytic process is discovered that automatically splits water without large input energies, this will remain an elusive dream.

Now, I will say this. Using nuclear energy and hydro energy as a means to create hydrogen from water makes enormous sense to me. Hrdro is the best! It then remains to create the infrastructure to distribute it. And not only for internal combustion, which may make very little sense, but in fuel cells to run electric motors. That is how I believe this will turn out.

All it will take is a visionary congress and president. Yeah, right. We can't even build a rocket to go to the moon anymore. Think I am kidding??
