[Biofuel] MEPs caught up in hydrogen hype?
http://www.euractiv.com/Article?_lang=ENtcmuri=tcm:29-144195-16type=News Several MEPs called on 12 September for a fundamental shift away from the oil era into the green hydrogen economy. But is their initiative based on science or inspired by political hype?

Re: [Biofuel] MEPs caught up in hydrogen hype?
When i was highschool, i was worrying that if all vehicle burning hydrogen and take oxygen from our atmosphere, we will all run out of oxygen!(since plants only take in CO2 and release O2) Electrolysis will produce hydrogen and oxygen also, but if we all lack of oxygen then the oxygen produced will all be bottled and sold for more profit! No more free air we have! What a childish mind i had, i was young thou, but this still preventing me from believing in any hydrogen economy thing. Especially reading a lot regarding this unpractical technology talking about how bad it is. But using hydrogen as an energy source to replace the current world demand of energy will need a massive RD effort andmajor investment. from the article you posted. It feel like saying to live forever you must replace your meat and bones with cyborg parts and seal your brain in a titanium case, but we will need a massive RD effort and major investment to make this happen.

I agree. I think that there is alot of technical potential to hydrogen, and I support doing RD on it. However, the current effort I feel is focused not so much on actually solving our problems, so much as an excuse/smokescreen for not solving them. Why use biodiesel, photovoltaics, wind turbines, etc, when hydrogen will save us in 15 years Didn't we already hear this about nuclear power: too cheap to meter? To extend Rexis's analogy, we're so enamored of the cyborg idea, that in the mean time, we keep on eating cheeseburgers and sitting on the couch all day instead of excersicing a little and eating some organic broccolli.
