Hydrogen Fuels Destroy Earth?

Wow... let's look at some of those questions in the original post...

"What happens when we use up all of our water?"

You don't. You use electrolysis to break apart the water into Hydrogen and Oxygen. When you store the Hydrogen and then use it to fuel a generator or engine, what do you think it mixes with? Hydrogen fuel primarily mixes with Oxygen to form... WATER!

"Has anyone posed that question?"

Probably nobody with an understanding of chemistry and the mechanics of hydrogen fuel cells.

"So what's our brilliant new plan for energy so we can drive and heat our homes?

Lets use up the source of life........ water...... ?"

There are numerous plans to use new energies so we can drive vehicles and heat our homes. Hydrogen fuel cells and fuel cell stations are being experimented with in Greenland where they have just one primary highway.

And let's use the source of life... water? The people who wrote these questions don't know much about biology do they? Plants use photosynthesis to break apart water to release oxygen and form hydrocarbon chains. A simple form of these chains are sugars. When animals eat these hydrocarbon chains, some of the hydrogen is used in combination with the oxygen that animals breathe in to fuel cells. The two most common products of this biological function is Carbondioxide and water.

"Where will the electricity for the electrolysis of water come from?"

As pointed out, most of the electricity we use in the States comes from burning fossil fuels. However, the example of Hydrogen fuel cell stations in Greenland that I gave run off of solar power on sunny days, and put the excess energy back into the grid. Only on cloudy days do the fuel stations actually run off of the standard electrical grid.

Also, our dependence upon fossil fuels to supply electricity is obscene. We have hundreds of towns and cities within the Southern States that could place solar panels upon the roofs of homes and buildings. How much electricity would be produced if every house and business in Texas, Southern California, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, etc. had a few solar panels on the roof?

No offense meant, but whoever wrote that article really does not know jack shit about chemistry or the concept of Hydrogen fuel cell technology, or any Hydrogen fuel technology.

where is your research that says using hydrogen as fuel removes water from earth? E=mc2. its not lost, just changed.

yup. . . that's what I said. Water. . . from exaust.

And isn't a nuclear power plant just a glorified water turbine? Using tons of water? 'nother thing i said in my earlier post. . . .

and another thing is that the cars that use hydrogen they produce WATER as the exhaust .

I have a theory that any and all forms of alternative energy that will be proposed will have similar stories like these pointing out its negatives. hydrogen energy is still in its infancy stage and the whole notion of depleting water resources and depleting oxygen from using hydrogen energy may have been true in the beginning when hydrogen energy was being proposed as an alternative source of energy but not so now. electrolysis ( extracting hydrogen from water) is very expensive and unrealistic at this moment for it to be commercially produced so you might want to count that out.. now hydrogen energy is produced from fossil fuel ( this is far cheaper than anything else proposed and is the most common source of hydrogen at the moment) i know its controversial but if you used fossil fuel to make energy and take out all the other sources that use fossil fuel energy you will dramatically reduce green house gases. other sources of hydrogen include the use of waste water , making hydrogen in the lab , using fusion energy to create hydrogen. harvest space "rocks" that contain tones of hydrogen in them as a source of energy. and many more cool ways that do not use water and or oxygen on earth. so the whole notion of hydrogen depleting water resources and oxygen depletion may have been true when hydrogen energy was first proposed but now the different things that they are coming out with are remarkable and cost efficient. for more information check out mit research on alternative energy.

In a perfect hydrogen based system, water would first be converted into HHO, then create electricity via a fuel cell with the byproducts being water and some heat.

There is no perfect system.And though there are numerous working systems that separate water into HHO without any external energy input, there would at best be a 2 to 3% leakage factor and that would lead to eventual loss of water on earth because hydrogen escapes the earth's gravitational field and dissipates into outer space.

Hydrogen will only be a stopgap energy source until fusion energy become practical.

Using hydrogen as part of a renewable energy program will have little effect on the amount of water on earth since fusion power should be available within two decades.

How you gonna make them return to the farm after they've seen Pari?

I believe that Americans would rather drive the earth into ecosystem collapse before they will get out of their cars and use mass transit.

The real solution of course is rapid voluntary population reduction (one child) before we do it involuntarily.

We do not need storage batteries for storing energy. After hydrogen is seperated due to electrolysis, any hydrogen left over can be stored in tanks for reserve or later use. The hydrogen era is here bnut the Oil cartels and oil people will never change. Hydrogen is clean and free. It is abundant throughout the universe so there will never be a lack of it.It will be up to the people to make the switch, not the politics.
Rather than storage batteries stored hydrogen and hydrogen Fuel cells would be a much better alternative.

i truly believe solar, wind, electric is the way to go. what we need to do is focus on storage (batteries) and transmission of electricity, and we'll have a very efficient, completely renewable energy market.

the reason these ideas haven't already been realized is that solar energy is 'free' and accessible. it can't be banned/regulated like marijuana/hemp, also another viable alternative fuel, despite emissions.

It has been estimated that when the Ice melts on the Northern continents and greenland and the Anarctica, the oceans may rise many feet and some estimates reach 200 feet. Even if the oceans bays and harbors rise 10 or 20 feet their will always be sufficient water for the extraction of hydrogen and the populous and as reported when hydrogen is used for fuel the exhaust output is clean water. So your engine is clean because there is no carbon or sludge buildup. So whats to worry about. Your engine oil will last much longer simply because there is no carbon buildup. Also new solar panels have been discovered that will soon bring the cost down to a fraction of the present unless the government inflated the prices.
