Why We Need The Solar-Hydrogen Economy Now
By Warren D. Reynolds, Ph.D.

We need solar hydrogen like the proverbial hole in the head.

It's the fastest ever way to waste both money and energy ever devised by
man.

AND YOUR BETTER SOLUTION IS ..............

Energy efficiency is the single simplest cheapest and most effective method to
reduce energy consumption and reduce pollution.

Making hydrogen to use as a fuel is appallingly wasteful of energy and
increases greenhouse gas emissions.

It does however have a role to play in providing off-grid power along with PV.
Both these technologies are far too expensive and wasteful for much broader
application. PV may improve if current research into better materials works
out but hydrogen as a fuel is a net energy loss and it won't change.
