The (Possible) Future of Alternative Energy
Sponge! writes: "The stuff that turns oil into margarine. The stuff that made the Hindenburg float. The stuff that combines with oxygen to make water and with carbon to make methane. The stuff that sends the space shuttle skyward and could someday power your car, office building, house, cell phone, even your hearing aid. That "Stuff" is hydrogen, and according to Amory Lovins, it is the future of energy. Here is an interesting article on Lovins and his view of hydrogen as the number one fuel."
I agree. Bin Laden wants us out of the middle east. I say we give him his wish. Let's pull out and take our money with us and invest it in a renewable energy source. Hell, even if we could buy oil from someone else, we at least won't have to deal with the fanaticism.
lets see to make hydrogen you need ahhh, could it be electricity? ___ You Burn the Coal to get the Electricty to get the Hydrogen to Put in the car. Oil baby the stuff just comes out of the ground like majic, you burn it and get CO2, and that feeds the rainforests
Hey, did you know that some power plants actually use Uranium or sunlight or water or wind rather than coal and oil? It's amazing! Oh, and did you know that there are almost no power plants on the grid that go around on wheels? And that they are therefore 10 zillion times as efficient as the portable variety in your car? Who'd have thought?!? Anyone who put more than 2 seconds thought into it, that's who.
