Another hydrogen use is in the atomic hydrogen device. Here hydrogen molecules are broken into atoms in an electric discharge. There is an enormous energy release when two hydrogen atoms recombine to make a molecule. Recombination is slow, but takes place vigorously on the target surfaces. It is important in cases when you don't want any oxygen around.
One of the big problems is Life. Electrode/catalyst ‘poisoning’ is a big issue.
We have a law against recycling nuclear waste.
For review, comment. Later.
I once ran a Geiger counter over some radioactive waste and my granite counter top in my kitchen was twice as high : (
Didn't they also pass a law somewhere making PI = 3?
Most people still travel less than 40 miles to work. Some 25% of Americans travel further.
I think I remember reading that in a third grade history book many years ago. I think Parliament debated it in the 1800s but didn’t do it.
The threshold of pealing off the Hydrogen to a usable state as a fuel is the entire problem. If it weren't for the amount of energy required to perform that task, the gas would be a viable alternative.
Oil companies make far less of a profit margin than a host of other company's but it has become politically convenient to demonize them. If their profit is so terrible, why haven't you first demonized Microsoft, Goggle, Yahoo, et. al. etc...?
The reason is that you are dishonest with the issue for the sake of making political points with those as ignorant as yourself.
Global Warming and the associated alleged greenhouse gasses attributed to the same are loosing their credibility as they were destined to. They form the fraudulent basis against the use of fossil fuels as a viable energy source.
The implication in your comment that profit is somehow evil makes the case that you have drunken the radical leftist koolade.
You liar. What ever you do for a living, be it labor for someone or the production of a product, you must, for what you input to engage in your business, gain a percentage more that puts you in the black. This is profit, therefore according to your comment you are evil and a hypocrite.
This is the dilemma your thought process has placed you in. Don't get mad at me for pointing out your ignorance and hypocrisy.
Then you would not be the ones I'm talking about.. Duuugh..
A silly point. One might as well argue that there are no energy sources, matter itself being merely an energy storage medium.
You were just sittin there behind that monitor for just the right post so you could pull out your little bullhorn and sound off.
If another supports hydrogen energy research, there a liar and a dumbass.
Man oh man, get out from behind that monitor. Go have a beer and chill out.
Loser
I take it by your brat rant that you have no substantive response to the points I made.
I accept that you concede. That would make you the looser.

They call it fugitive emisssion.
That’s one of the standard characteristics of so many alternative fuel stories.
It looks good on the surface, but when you break down the real-world economics and energy expenditure to create it it quickly loses out to old, smelly, polluting gasoline.
Not even the pollution equation works out for hydrogen, because it takes electricity to create it and the electricity comes from polluting sources.
As Heinlein would say-TANSTAAFL!

Not a debate, an opinion.
Sorry you felt offended fella, but that would be your problem. Not mine.
Game....set....match.
How sophomoric can you be. Grow up.
H2-Oh ping.
