Hydrogen derived from methane and stored in an absorbant material instead of
compressed. Fuel cells instead of internal combustion engines. It's all here
now. Sources say the stumbling block is the cost. I say what the heck is
another 5 grand tacked on a 30 grand vehicle? New houses around here are 1/2
mil and up. What's another 10% tacked on for solar cells? My wife and I
decided we're going to do it and the heck with worrying about payback. I
switched from chemically treating my pool to making chlorine on-sight (also
makes hydrogen by the way) and the system does work. Not only is it cost
effective ($15 a month in electricity versus 200 pounds of solid chlorine at
$2.00 per pound) the unit shocks the water continually (another savings of
about $150 in chlorine specific to shock). How difficult is it to operate?
If you can turn a little dial it's not complicated at all.
We can get away from gasoline and it's cousin diesel entirely but we can't
get away from petroleum so fast because it's used for making stuff we get
our hands on every day.
But as far as using compressed air that's a joke.
