Re: Peak Oil and why hydrogen won’t help us much (Long post)
Il Mostro...
I just assumed the H2 as a carrier for energy was in the clear here...I've never challenged the "source" vs. "carrier" label. It's never been an issue in our post, and it's really just splitting hairs. A fuel cell converts it into electricity...that's basic stuff here. Hydrogen is the fuel for the conversion into electricity...which is the actually energy product.
2+2=4
Ok, now moving on.
I did read the articles and it's all good. I appreciate the sharing of info and knowledge. I just take the opposite stance on the issue. My point is: we don't know yet. H2 is only one part of our energy research (which I've said numerous times). I just happen to think that it will win out - time will tell.
