Re: Peak Oil and why hydrogen won’t help us much (Long post)

That's like saying, "it's really difficult to cure AIDS, so we should just give up." It makes no sense. That's not how science works.

I wanted to get back to this for a second. Your parallell doesn't really work.
Instead, what I'm saying is more like:
Ok, we have 10 ways to find the cure for AIDS, out of those, 3 has been proved to need us to alter the laws of physics. So let's concentrate on the other 7.
I'm not saying I have proved that the hydrogen economy needs us to alter the laws of physics, but a lot of the problems with it is directly linked to the very nature on H2, and that we cannot solve.
Of course, again, if we can find a source of infinite electricity we are home safe. I just don't want to bet the future of the industrialized world on that hope.
