Oxygen, followed by silicon, is the most abundant element on earth........SO I guess Silicon Dioxide is THE most abundant mineral on earth, sand..............

Typical hydrogen hype. Hydrogen is a battery. Not an energy source. It will never be a primary energy source on earth.

It may me a very good way to STORE energy produced by other energy sources such as, Oil. But it is not a source of energy. That this article’s editors did not laugh him out of the room explains a lot about why Obama can poll more than 5% of the population.

I’m questioning why they don’t see the basic flaws of their argument.

Because the dupes on the left have a brain disorder that makes them think politicians can write laws that make fairy dust real. There is no difference to them between Hope and Reality.

As opposed to the leaders on the left who, I'm quite certain, realize they are full of crap. (Exceptions made for Barbara Boxer and Maxine Waters, who are so stupid they actually believe what they say.)

The chemical composition of the earth is quite a bit different from that of the universe. The most abundant element in the earth’s crust is oxygen, making up 46.6% of the earth’s mass. Silicon is the second most abundant element (27.7%), followed by aluminum (8.1%), iron (5.0%), calcium (3.6%), sodium (2.8%), potassium (2.6%). and magnesium (2.1%). These eight elements account for approximately 98.5% of the total mass of the earth’s crust. Of course, the earth’s crust is only the outer portion of the earth. Future research will tell us about the composition of the mantle and core.

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

Paragraphs, the rareest form of punctuation are on the way out.

It was formatted at the source, but when you post it to FR, if there are any HTML commands along with it, the paragraphs are toast..............

What happens when there are 1,000,000 H2 cars on LA freeways, spewing water vapor. Will it start to rain once the air is saturated?

...OMG, imagine the humidity, I hate humidity. As well, after 80 years of hundreds of millions of Hydrogen cars around the planet releasing oxygen, once the atmosphere becomes 80% oxygen I guess we will have to outlaw anything that creates a spark or fire....Johnny, don't light that cigarette....BOOM, North America explodes into a fire ball!

I agree with the rest of your post, but methinks you have the volumes reversed...

Writer obviously misspelled ‘Universe’ as ‘Earth’. Anybody past fifth grad knows this common fact.

As to the popularity of hydrogen cars: that might be related to he availability of fuel, which right now is not available except at a handful of pilot program test sites.

Won’t have hydrogen cars.

You need a lot more energy to strip the H2 off then it will make by burning it.
