Actually, Dan, I'd be interested if you could go a bit farther than this. I've been reading about a hydrogen-based economy for years, and it's always struck me as a bunch of people who have convinced themselves that perpetual motion machines work if you blow them up sufficiently large. It seems very odd. Am I missing something? Since hydrogen is (as you say) an energy transmission medium, not an existing reservoir of stored energy (as petroleum is), a hydrogen-based economy necessarily requires that someone, somewhere, generate the energy that is stored/transmitted in hydrogen. The ways that I can think of to do this, are, well, the exact same ways we generate energy right now. So what's going on here? Gautam __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
