Excellent !!!

I agree that out in the open, any hydrogen which escapes from confinement is going to go straight up in the air, and ultimately escape from the earth's pull. But in enclosed spaces, such as underground parking areas or in tunnels, an accumulation of hydrogen which cannot escape upwards is definitely going to spoil somebody's day.

The cogen boiler from veissmann is bad ass . Unfortunately I can't even try to sell one in the US.

You need clean point of use hydrogen generation from methane. In the home , at the gas station. Embrace NG , its pipes are this countries vascular system.

55:00:00 Again, I don't know how you can just be off by a factor of 1000. Maybe because you wouldn't be believed if you did the math correctly.

Hydrogen produced by electrolysis is the perfect companion for the cheap totally safe waste (plutonium) consuming nuclear power plants of the next generation of nuclear power plants. The important feature of these power plants is that the pressurised water method of cooling the reaction is eschewed. Molten salt reactors may be the ultimate goal here. But MOLTEX has a "stable salt reactor" ready for deployment.

big oil

[@solareagle7281]

Like all these green new deal plans this is not feasible economically, nor is it technologically plausible...of course it all sounds good, but so does Willy Wonka's chocolate factory...To create enough hydrogen to replace oil would take over 4 times the energy now produced in the world, a truly staggering figure, and the cost is well over 50 trillion dollars, perhaps even as much as twice that...that would be if we had the materials that would actually work in a reliable way, which we don't, hydrogen embrittlement and the tendency of hydrogen to leak can not be ignored...this is pie in the sky fantasy...

Solar Eagle yeah hydrogen obviously isn't a solution for energy in general, but it definitely does have its uses. It's an easy scalable way to store energy from solar etc. and it's useable for airships and rockets.
That said yeah hydrogen cars are kind of a dumb idea.
