Anyway, the one thing that they glossed right over was that it takes more
energy to extract hydrogen from water than you get from the extracted
hygogen. They said that to solve this catch-22, we can extract hydrogen from
hyrdrocarbons (ie coal, oil, natural gas, etc.) or use nuclear to extract
hydrogen from water. Doesn't seem to be all that glorious of a solution now,
does it?


It certainly doesn't seem that way to me, but I live downwind of most of the plants
that would be producing the power for those hydrogen generators. It probably looks
just great to most of the residents of Los Angeles, since most of their polution
comes from cars. I expect this would be reflected in the politics behind the
development.
