Michael:
I figured out the problem, you don't have a news reader which threads posts, or you are NOT using it correctly. Don't pose my EXACT same arguments back to me, YOU LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT WHEN YOU DO! Else, you haste for character assassination has drive you over the edge. Get a clue man--you are on the verge of looking like some insane, blathering nut case! Give us a break!

John What are the byproducts of converting seawater to hydrogen and oxygen? Hydrogen is seen as some sort of saving angel in the energy issue. Producing the hydrogen is a bit of a problem though. It takes a lot of energy to produce it. It has a pretty low volumetric energy density. Interestingly enough, a gallon of gasoline contains more hydrogen than a gallon of liquid H2 - it's a great way to store hydrogen. But to the problem at hand, a somewhat practical method of producing H2 would be to electrolyze it, using Nuc power. The electrolysis plant would probably be set up near the ocean (let's not even talk of fresh water production - just ask the folks on the left coast about fresh water) So now we have an extraction plant that is powered by an unpopular power source, and has one big nasty polluting byproduct. Or we can use the other methods of generating H2. Of course, they cause as much pollution producing the fuel as if we just used the fuel in the first place.
