Eric,

Your enthusiasm for renewable pollution free is admirable and to be commended.

Sabine's critique for Hydrogen is accurate and precisely states the condition of that technology today.

It's a loser.

Maybe things change in the future, but as of today, we should not be sinking billions of dollars and huge research projects into it. That is plain as daylight.

As I have said before, over 80% of science is discovered by accident or on shoe string funded projects. Or projects with no funds at all. There is no rhyme or reason to it. Certain things, like the development of the transistor, did result from a requirement, and then a huge development and research program. That was an exception though, not the rule.

Hydrogen may get lucky one day.

"Cold Fusion" started off as a scam, but is still hanging around today. It has maybe gone "real science".



But Hydrogen is just a gimmick today. There is a stupid label on all new gas fired Central Heating Units in the UK days. It says "Hydrogen Ready".

utter bollocks.
