Re: Best Books on Hydrogen Future Possibilities

This is a mischaracterization based on faulty analysis. Hydrogen is
produced today in laboratories and in fertilizer plants around the
world by a wide variety of means. Some involve electrolytic
decomposition of water to form hydrogen. Other processes involve the
shift reaction of water with carbon to form hydrogen. In all cases
the source of hydrogen is the same - water.

You obviously have a lot more time to spend posting to this newsgroup than I
have, so I'll only respond to this one itty, bitty point.

Talk about mischaracterization! The hydrogen used in fertilizer plants is
all made from hydrocarbons (and yes, a little of that hydrogen is
contributed by water which also contributes some of the O in the CO2.) The
only place you'll find electrolytic decomposition of water forming hydrogen
for storage of significant quantities of energy is in government subsidized
pilot programs designed to make it look like hydrogen is a feasible
automotive fuel.
