Warning: The Hydrogen Economy May Be More Distant Than It Appears via Popular Science
Wow, I had some hope for the hydrogen economy. Some. Not as much as a lot of people, but some seemed ok. Reading this article makes it appear as if it is absolutely useless. Sometimes you'd like to just go up and stick an oilwell in saturn's atmosphere and, boom, you're done. Suffice it to say acquiring the hydrogen is only part of the very large problem. More and more it seems like getting a clean and efficient way to create electricity is the key to a non-fossil fuel based economy. My preference is nuclear power (be it fusion or fission).
