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

We've got an energy problem in this country

Correct. Basically that infrastructure needs a lot of energy, to which end we of course can use H2, if only we find that infinite electrical generation capability...

Natural gas (NG) may possibly be an effective fuel source but my understanding is that the U.S. will have to import NG in liquified form

Also correct [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] It's probably not a very good idea to build the infrastructure needed for a natgas economy, we will run out of that too, in a not very distant future.
