Hydrogen Power
by Dave Wilson on Jul.18, 2003, under Uncategorized
A story on Yahoo today questions the merits of putting so much emphasis on developing hydrogen powered vehicles. While the idea of a vehicle dumping nothing other than water vapour into the environment sounds great, I have yet to hear how the hydrogen fuel is to be generated without dumping a lot of other nasties. Solar or wind power used to electrolyse sea water may be one nice clean solution but I get the feeling that burning coal or oil to generate the power would be the most likely means in the short term. Kind of defeats the purpose, methinks.
Given the current reliance on petrol and diesel as a fuel source and its ready availability, I would be a lot happier to see equivalent amounts of money pumped into gasoline fuel cell and hybrid motor technology.
