The point of electrolysis is not that it is cheaper (although it may be if we had an abundance of clean energy such as solar cells). The point is that is creates a clean "hydrogen cycle" that is not dependent on plants. Water is split. Water is made. No intermediary steps. This is not the case for any other method. -- Ben Zarzycki KF6NUX [EMAIL PROTECTED] H: 1-510-651-8711 _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
