I'm sure the "multiple safe chemicals" are also cost-effective.

Conservation of energy. It's not just a good idea. It's the LAW!

A rather close to the vest announcement. I would be interested to see a list of their major investors.

The chemicals presumably make it possible to produce hydrogen at lower heat, but it still requires input of electricity. Electricity needs fuel to produce it. So you essentially produce hydrogen by burning oil, natural gas, or coal.

The only practicable fuel, if we want to get away from fossil fuels, is nuclear. There are enormous political difficulties in the way of resuming construction of nuclear power plants, but it's the only real solution to our present energy dependence.

Bush has proved himself to be a consummate politician, but I'm not sure that even he can bring this off. So far he has backed off even opening the Alaskan oil reserves. He knows that the press would kill him if he ventured to advocate nuclear power. It needs to be done; but how?

WOW! A quantum leap in hydrogen production. This makes fuel cells commercially feasable! I wonder if the company is public?

My dad who used yto work for MET ED told me how they had artificial waterfall dams. At peak demand times the water is let go through the turbines generating extra power. When the energy demand was lower the water was pumped back up. Something like this might be useful for a peak demand generator. During low demand use electricity to seprate the hydrogen from the water and when peak let it rip.
