John,
No, not with todays resources and within reasonable time frames.
The nearly only way to start a hydrogen economy is to use oil, NG or coal
as sources. US have only known oil resources (including Alaska) for 10 year
of its own current use and NG for 7 years. US have 235 years of coal at
current production. It is easy to deduct that the suggested clean "hydrogen
economy" for US must use dirty coal for a foreseeable future. Kyoto would
stand in the way to do this, without enormous investment in developing
clean technologies, but that is not a problem, US did not sign Kyoto. LOL
Hydrogen from renewable electrolysis of water. US have less than 10% of its
electricity from such sources, around 6-8% hydro, less than 1% (closer to
0.5%) from wind. It is no way that US can keep their transportation going
on the hydro generated electricity. It does not matter which way you turn,
your behind is behind you.
US can do a lot on conservation, at least cut their current energy use with
40%. It will however take time and US is still waiting for responsible
leaders, that can build populous support for it. I guess that the current
ones want to keep their Hummers. LOL
I will never understand those terrorists, they must be stupid. Why kill and
hurt people of US, when they are so good in doing it themselves.
The only way to get improvements is to elect me as president, but I am not
a US citizen and then it is impossible. There are not many of us foreigners
that are concerned and want to help US. -:)

Otherwise, please listen to Keith, Todd, Darryl and a bunch of other people
on this list, that at least know what it all comes down to and working with
real and "ready for use" solutions.

Question: I know, from much discussion on the lists, that the energy needed
to produce hydrogen really isn't worth it in terms of oil/coal terms. But,
is it (theoretically) possible to use most of the available hydro generated
electricity to make hydrogen such that all vehicles / homes / businesses
rely on hydrogen for there energy needs (assuming improved consumption
conservation)?
