“”Hydrogen, the most abundant element on Earth, is on the way.””

An utterly stupid statement targeting the ignorant. Yes, hydogen bonded to water is useless. Hydrogen bonded in a useable energy state to carbon, called hydrocarbons, is useful indeed and we call it petroleum and natural gas. As I recall, diatomic hydrogen blew up the Hindenburg and is highly explosive; not to mention there is no infrastructure to retail the stuff.

“not to mention there is no infrastructure to retail the stuff.”

heck if we can get a starbucks on every stinking street corner in the world we should be able to put a hydrogen station in there someplace.

Its not a matter of can’t. Its a matter of won’t.

According to www.npnweb.com there are slightly less than 169,000 gas stations in the US. How much would it cost to add a hydrogen pump to each station? Add economic incentive and the owners will add it themselves.
