I'm not going to go on with this but you should check your book on the laws of physics. It is possible to get more energy out of the coal you dig than the energy used to dig the coal. But that is not the case with hydrogen. Forget hydrogen, build a small home on the Sea of Cortez and kick back.

The transportation scheme for LNG already exists. The LNG is re- gasified at the import terminal and then the natural gas goes into the already existing grid.I'm not up on the economy of hyrolysis, but no matter how you cut it, you get less energy *out* of a process than is put in, unless the laws of physics change. As far as regasification terminals... NIMBY... Lets put it here: Bye Bye Baja: Mexico, top private interests look to revamp Pacific ports south of the border - Sacramento Bee http://leighm.net/blog/?p=141 Have you ever been to Baja? Better see it now... and most of the energy created here will be used to power ONLY San Diego. Leigh http://leighm.net/
