Where Is Hydrogen Money?


This is not due to a lack of experience by manufacturers in the production of Hydrogen fuel cells, or vehicles that run on them.
Hydrogen fuel cells were also used in space by NASA in the 1960s.
A tank of pressurized Hydrogen in many ways the same as a time bomb.


There is also the issue of using electricity to produce Hydrogen in the first place.
Even if this electricity was generated from clean sources such as solar panels, it could be used directly to charge batteries or supply a grid with greater efficiency than for producing Hydrogen.
They can be run on many different fuels, including methanol and ethanol.
These fuels do produce Carbon Dioxide emissions however, though these could be neutralized by use of biofuel crops to produce the fuel in the first place.
Our time would be better spent discussing the serious development of the Ethanol economy.
