Come on Ralph! Everyone is OT on r.a.m these days! Go ahead! Be
naughty! Do it! In fact...let's bash French fuel cell technology!!!

Great! However, the big question that very few people seem to be able to
answer (myself included) is where the energy to make the H2 should come
from? I'm sure you're aware that H2 is not something you can dig up
from the ground. Perhaps our hope should lie with nuclear fusion, though
that's not without its own problems either.
In my opinion H2 not the answer to a possible energy/environmental
crisis. Focussing on H2 is just replacing one problem with another.

There's so dogone much H2 around that its use for energy is almost as
attractive as splitting atoms in the long term.

But yes, those H and O atoms really like to stick together, and the
energy it takes to coax them apart is problematic at the moment.

But I really think this technology is going to fly...and probably
nuclear power will triumph over the long haul.
