They have developed a catalyst which will allow water to be broken
apart into hydrogen and oxygen using solar energy. The hydrogen and
oxygen can be recombined in a fuel cell to produce electricity (proven
technology), stored for later consumption (potentially solving the
night time and cloudy day problem), or the hydrogen can be burned
immediately as fuel for a combustion engine.

They have an all star technology team and significant venture capital
funding. Let's hope they can get it to market in a reasonable time
and price.

More correctly their web site says they are developing, not that they
have developed it.

Reminiscent of the same kind of snake-oil of the '70s. What ever
happened to gravity boy anyway?

There is no problem in separation of water into hydrogen and oxygen,
then burning it. Problem is as always, getting more energy out of the
process than goes in or even doing it economically for a partial return
that those without Bates, Rockefeller last names can afford. Next huge
problem is in storing and creating enough of it.

I will keep my oil sands and oil field investments.
