A Hydrogen-Based Economy

Glog writes "Peter Schwartz and Doug Randall of Wired magazine have written an amazing article explaining why we need to transition to a hydrogen economy. Lots of info there, estimated cost and benefit ... very good solid reasoning for whatever floats your boat - national security, environment, super-duper-charged automobiles."

Thank you Wired.

I'm sure that Bush and everyone who actually matters will read this and say "Good golly this is a great idea! We should do it right away, oil companies be damned!"

I'm not cynical.

Huh?

It seems like it would be difficult to carry around little canisters of hydrogen to pay for everything.

I don't get it.

Dummy - we'd all use debit cards in the future. The bank would store a baloon for you that's filled with your stock of hydrogen, which they'd release or fill up depending on the activity within your account. Haven't you even heard of basic economic terms like inflation and deflation? Jeez...
