It takes as much energy to get hydrogen out of a compound as you get
when you put it back. It is a chemical battery.


Who said anything about upholding or defying physics?????


good lord. I'm saying that eventually hydrogen power will become a
viable (economically as well as ecologically) option in power...


It might become a suitable "portable" fuel like gasoline if production
costs and safety issues could be resolved. One possible production
solution would be to create hydrogen from sea water using nuclear
power. Of course if battery technology were better that would be the
way to go instead of creating hydrogen.
