There is a great 'thread' running on hydrogen as an energy source at: http://www.energypulse.net/centers/article/article_display.cfm?a_id=384 I'll repeat the article by Mark Sardella that prompted numerous replies: The Hydrogen Hallucination - The 'Freedom Fuel' Leaves Us in Chains 9.25.03...

dpc: These is obviously a backlash forming regarding turning over the generation market to independent power producers who are driven solely by economics. Perhaps market theory demonstrated that reliance upon competition makes sense for a critical commodity like electricity -- but there is a...

Peebee: Thanks for your posts. I was out of town for a few days so I wasn't able to reply until now. In the meantime, however, I stumbled upon a couple of sources for what I was looking for. For a couple of sources, see: www.nrel.gov/docs/fy01osti/30547.pdf ...

Jay: Yeah -- I was just making a joke regarding hydrogen fusion. Unfortunate, at best, that we haven't found a way to develop fusion technology. Remember the hype a few years ago about cold fusion? I think that, in part, might have been somewhat responsible for getting the nation off track...

We're likely to see a significant increase in the amount of wind generation in the United States -- especially if the Federal production tax credit is extended. I'm trying to gain an understanding of how this energy will interact with the other units in an existing power grid; and am hoping...

re: So we'd fuse hydrogen to generate power to split water to create hydrogen? Cool! You can carry it one step further -- hydrogen fusion to generate power to split water to create hydrogen to create power. I'm hoping that I live to see the day! If only we could create the vision as a...

Automotive Fuel Cells vs. IC Engines. I have a friend at Ford that has been working on their hydrogen-power IC engine project. Apparently they have concluded that the economics will favor IC engines, if we move toward a hydrogen economy -- although it could simply be their way of covering all...

I'd like to keep this dialogue about the comparison between fuel cells and batteries going for awhile -- an interesting topic. Battery/Fuel Cell Life. I agree that 5 year battery life is about right -- espeically for automotive applications where there is more abuse than in stationary...

re: Solar is used to split the water, the fuel cell puts it back together. This would seem to be a viable system in the future, but still appears to be a long way off. Question: I'm having a problem trying to understand the value of this concept. Is the hydrogen created through electrolysis...
