Thank God that Bush proposed the Hydrogen Car... I think they will be the prime source of transportation in our Mars Base... But more seriously, as you say Hydrogen is not a source of energy unless you can get fusion to work. Its not as if we have a choice in developing alternative energy, what we are using IS going to run out. A country that can get a jump on new methods of producing energy will have a giant leg up in the next 50 years. But that will require an administration where all policies are NOT run by the campaign advisor before being approved. ]]>

Why not build a million new wind turbines, Yensid? For that matter, why not build a thousand new nuclear plants? These are far from impossible goals. Committing ourselves to either (or both) of these goals would be far better than doing nothing and continuing to burn gasoline in every automobile. The main advantage of hydrogen is that we can use any power source to generate it. We can start generating it with relatively dirty methods, such as from methane or with fossil-fuel powered electrolysis from water. But we are not stuck with those dirty methods forever. Hydrogen can be generated from clean, renewable sources, unlike gasoline, which will always be dirty both in its production and in its use. The hardest part is converting the vehicles and the fuel stations, creating the hydrogen infrastructure. Once we have that distribution system in place, we can work on cleaning up the production methods. ]]>

I blogged some relevant details at: The Myth of the Hydrogen Economy Link opens in new window. ]]>
