-- Lovins say is that he's in the electrolysis camp. Talks about hydrogen from windmills, rather than from natural gas feedstocks. I agree with this direction. That's good. His website FAQ mentions both (wind and methane). rmi.org Wind makes sense -- if it can scale. I saw this fabulous drawing -- more fantasy than architecture, and I've long lost the link -- of a giant offshore enclosed city with giant windmills on top. The idea was to have such things floating all over the ocean with people living on them, tending the conversion from wind power to electrolysis to H2 to H2 storage to off loading to visiting ship. Can you picture it? Like some lurid 1950's sci-fi book you never saw. The woman with a torn blouse, looking out pensively to sea. Suddenly a flash overhead: oh, no! H2 fire! You can see the problem --- not with peak oil, with me. I have the fine honed analytical skills of an English major. :) - Charles
