Peak Oil

Sigh.

David. Listen to me.

Take a car battery, attach wires to each end, run wires into fishtank. Keep them seperated. See the bubbles?

Right. How did you charge the battery in the first place? Batteries don't come out of the ground or the air.

I will repeat myself here. HYDROGEN IS NOT AN ENERGY SOURCE. IT REQUIRES MORE ENERGY TO EXTRACT HYDROGEN THAN IS PRODUCED BY BURNING IT.

And my above statement is partially correct. You need alot more energy then from a simple battery. Hydroelectric Dams have everything set up to produce Hydrogen, just not compress and hold it.

Hydroelectric plants produce a very small percentage of the world's energy, dams are expensive to build, and there are only so many places you can build them.

Hydrogen can directly replace Gasoline

We're not talking about running cars here, we're talking about everything that requires energy. Energy that is mostly produced by burning oil.
