The goal isn't to make purer hydrogen, it's to produce hydrogen using less energy.

Perhaps not surprisingly there are accepted patents that state such (or similar) things.
In this (6,698,200) example there are mentions of carnot efficiency excedence, or devices that require modifications to the fundamental laws of thermodynamics. A stirling engine that "self-refrigerates."
(I'm not making a case for this patent, just pointing out some of the things the USPTO does in fact accept.)

Small correction... article says 100x100 miles, which is 10,000 square miles. Does that land usage still compare favorably to strip mining for coal?
By storing the energy in hydrogen fuel cells during the day, Stirling solar-dish farms could supply U.S. electrical-energy needs at night too, as well as enough juice for future fuel-cell-powered automobiles, the DOE believes.
Enhance. Take the reflection off that guy's wristwatch strap. Now zoom into the reflection off this girl's cornea. I can't make anything out... try adjusting the brightness. Bingo.

You aren't fooling anyone with your hip urban lingo. Slashdot is not the place to spout zealous remarks.
You might call it a pile of trash, but there's someone out there who would call it art.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was very well done in my opinion.
If you're going to spell out p2p, why not go the whole hog? Point-two-point.

Think carefully before overclocking your NES. This procedure will most likely void the warranty.
Sententence? I'm starting to think the editors make these 'mistakes' on purpose.

Yeah, I get that all the time.
Yes, but the car's acceleration is measured using a calendar, so you'd be safe.

RTA much?
