Read their press release Jed. They have NOT YET done H2O.
Yeah, I see that. But it says: "The next generation of solar hydrogen
involves direct water splitting with only water as the primary feed
component." That's the ultimate goal.
I see also they are getting methane from landfills. That's great, but there
are not enough landfills provide all the energy we need.
Had you read the NREL article posted on 09/27/05 regarding
the work of Steinberg & Dong (Brookhaven)
http://www.ieahia.org/pdfs/hydrogen_biomass.pdf
and read their 1998 patent: 5,767,165
" Method for converting natural gas and carbon dioxide to methanol and
reducing CO.sub.2 emissions"
You might be a bit less impressed with the "SHEC Miracle".
There is not enough biomass either. As I have pointed out previously,
Pimentel and Pimentel show that we are now using twice as much fossil fuel
energy as the entire production of US land-based biomass.
I agree we should tap the energy in things like garbage (landfills) and
biomass. But there is not enough. The energy from wind and sunlight is
thousands of of times greater than biomass.
