Everyone seems to be getting very hyped up about the supposed hydrogen revolution that is just around the corner. Fuel Cell powered cars, we are promised, will be 100% with only water as a waste product. We are told fuel cells are going to power everything from cars to laptops.

Does anyone else see problems with this proposal? Firstly, hydrogen is an incredibly volatile gas, so filling up cars etc. with it will be far more dangerous than filling them with petrol. Also, if a car full of hydrogen gas crashes and it ruptured the storage tank, the whole thing will explode at the first sign of a spark.

Second, hydrogen does not occur in vast quanities naturally, so we have to produce it. This requires energy, and surely this energy is just going to come from burning more fossil fuels in power stations. And if it doesnt, if we set up a renewable energy infrastructure, why do we even need hydrogen? everything (including vehicles etc.) could just be plugged into a mains outlet...

At first I though it was going to be because of the power generated from the restricted flowing of the water supply, but I read on to see that the writer has a very different view on organic decay at the upper base of the dam. In trying to prove their point they showed that methane and nitrous oxide (more commonly known as NOS) were created when the rotting matter at the great depths of these places restricted the amount of oxygen to the process, thus causing the two gasses that are proven more harmful when released into the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.

It is now my view that the process results in the same gasses in differing quantities when oxygen is present, and that the significantly heaver molecular weight of the high depth process would be more of a risk to the oxygenation of the water than it would be to the atmospheric composition. If there were more methane and NOS, wouldn't the combustion engines burn cleaner and leaner? These are also gases made naturally by swamps.

When one considers that your average lump of granite is, for all practical purposes, also non-biodegradeable,what is the problem with plastics.

This place is messed up, but like an old car, we need to get a new one. When you have a busted, rusted car, or a dead battery you don't try to fix it (after a point), you replace it. God created all these planets, some we know can support life. With this in mind, then realize that humans are a virus, and thats what God expects from us (by my understanding). Did the lord not say "Increase your numbers and fill the land". What does he mean by land? Area, country, continent, planet, more planets? Do we not move from one place to another and use all natural resources and then when the land can not support us anymore, move to another? This is our nature, it is not wrong. This planet is getting worse and worse. If you do not know what is likely going to happen (in the distant future) watch the movie "The day after tomorrow" and it will give you a good idea. I'm not an environmentalist, in fact I hate them. I'm not saying to clean up earth, I'm saying we need to start planning to relocate now

The global warming lobby is the fastest growing business on Earth, people who are otherwise a waste of space have cottoned on to the fact that they can make a good living by frightening us to death worrying over something that we cannot control.
Man's part in global warming is miniscule compared to that of the Sun.
