The answer in itself isn't bad ... It just isn't feasible .... And to me seems just a stale echo of ideas we have all been hearing for the last decade now ...
Why not feasible ?... Because both consumers and corporations are always going to footdrag on anything that restricts or "weans us from the energy tit" ...Whether we are talking gasoline ,homeheating or energy in general- I do not have any faith either the vested corporations, or consumers are going to "buck up" to making any sacrifices of signifigance to curbing greenhouse emissions ...Add to this, if we have a four to eight year regime change in this country that actually pushes through legislation that will change things ... The next regime will simply come to reverse the trend ...
But am I wringing my hands in pessimism?... no
What am I optimistic about? ...hydrogen cell technology ...
Hydrogen cell technology has no carbon byproducts ... in fact its only byproduct is clean H20 ...Water ...

But hydrogen is limited ...where should we get it?...space ...
We need a total energy technology transformation ...one that engages private industry and the greed motive ...

Consider naive America that discovered petroleum ...the time of Henry Ford ...developing the internal combustion engine ...we now know those are dirty industries...
But why can't we enterpreneurially expand into space and harvest abundant hydrogen....electrolysis convert it to clean oxygens ...To correct our hydrocarbon century long blunder ...
Where is the spirit of innovation that this will take?

Why don't we cancel a few Norfolk Grummond 100 million dollar predator drone contracts ...beef up a space program ...and really get hydrogen harvesting going... Clean energy now!

Good point ...but we won't change things without tapping that same beast ...so what do you think the profit potential of limitless hydrogen for clean energy would be ...by the way, this entire image of tanking it(hydrogen) came to me in meditation ...

azmurath ...clean water is limited ...don't you realize ...liquid hydrogen for rocket boosts is a limited commodity coming mostly from geothermal resources?

polarity...doy...simple chemistry...hydrolysis,electrolysis ...but hydrogen cell is not expanding quickly due to the assumption of limited hydrogen in the biosphere ..

I agree innovation takes spirit - but when people are already greedy and making more money than they know what to do with and want even more - why are they going to change the horse they are riding?

Hydrogen is easy to get, we can sperate the oxygen from water using electrolysis, giving us pure hydrogen gas.

We will never solve our energy problems
until we erase greed as the main factor
