Hydrogen is most economically produced by the steam reforming of fossil fuels (coal, oil or natural gas). This already done on a large scale for industrial use. It is proposed that this could form an initial basis for the 'hydrogen economy' , the CO2 byproduct being sequestered. The hydrogen produced is technically an 'energy vector'.

One day we will need a power supply for spacecraft, ion drive, magnetic drive, warp drive or anti gravity. We need to breath and need water. If someone designs a system to nuclear fuse four hydrogens, 1.00797 (that are found in space) to get energy, I imagine we will be left with helium, 4.026. Do this again with helium and when the numbers are crunched one will end up with something like 16. When the numbers do not add up one should look to matter equalling energy. 15.994 Oxygen and the remainders will be converted to energy. Magic A. React the hydrogen and oxygen in a cook top and you get heat and water. Fission, threatens the world. Fusion, which is the process that powers the Sun and that fuels the world already. If mastered on a small scale will free us and give ability to be nice to each other and go places. On paper 1 gramme of hydrogen should yield about 6Kw. and just under a gramme of helium. Just don't mix the two.

The best source of energy is from nuclear reactions.

Nuclear reactors are the future energy sources for the world. Thankfully, Bush is pushing the U.S. to build new reactors. He is the first president in decades to do so. That will reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

Nuclear reactors can separate hydrogen from water so the hydrogen can be used to power cars with fuel cells.

The least expensive way to produce hydrogen is by using new nuclear reactors (That is especial true if nations will start taxing CO2 producing power plants.) There are more expensive ways of getting hydrogen. Those involve extracting hydrogen from natural gas and coal. However, those methods don't make global warming theorists happy since the methods result in a byproduct of carbon dioxide.

There is not a significant drop in CO2 produced when comparing a regular car with one that is hydrogen powered(fuel cell) with hydrogen derived from natural gas. The total CO2 output only drops by 40%. However, if the hydrogen is generated from a nuclear reactor then the total CO2 output drops by 95%.

Fission reactors have been proven to be safe. Countries all around the world rely on them. Many countries use nuclear reactors extensively (South Korea, France, Japan, etc.). China is currently switching over to nuclear reactors. America happens to make the best nuclear reactors in the world. The only problem is they are sold to other countries and are not being built here because of the ignorance surrounding the issue. There are new reactor designs on the drawing boards that actually burn nuclear waste (not referring to PU-239) so that hardly any waste will end up underground. The technology for getting rid of nuclear waste is advancing very quickly and Americans need to put aside their irrational fears regarding nuclear energy.

producing energy from garbage. no hydrogen is not seperated from water.
