Re: But there is a catch. Hydrogen generally doesn't occur in nature by itself, but rather in combination with other elements. Today it is usually produced from fossil fuel.

To a non-scientist, it seems unscientific to say that rules of thermodynamics guarantee that hycrogen can not be extracted from water in a way that produces a net energy gain that is significant. Nothing in science is written in stone, we are taught. Maybe that is wrong. And if it is true, for all time and in all applications and that new discoveries will not produce a new approach or a new situation where the economics of hydrolysis make sense, then why are intelligent scientists wasting their time on proceses invoving the extraction of hydrogen using electrolysis?




the simple reason is Grant Money...
