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. |

But of course, you know what will happen. The Republican governors will sell the water rights in their states to big corporations. :) |

I don't even fake being a conspiracy buff. If a new source of inexpensive energy is found, though, it's a safe bet the energy companies will make sure it isn't inexpensive. |

Think batteries. Have that too. Made off like a bandit so far. Currency stock is the one taking a bath. Oil didn't go up, the currency stock (money) went down. |

If this technology is realistically possible, build it yourself. But it isn't real as in that it doesn't work yet -- Hey, for sky is the limit priced I will guarantee you energy for a home. |

As a fuel, and for bankrupt states like California and Illinois, they would welcome taxing it. The biggest impediment to technological change is government. Imagine if we in fact became super efficient at gasoline use, cut use by 90%. Without all those taxes 2/3rd of the states would be instantly bankrupt. Just finished reading on a new push to allow US states to declare bankruptcy. California and Illinois being two states that are considering it. Bailout the bankrupt cities then go bankrupt is the deal. Certainly not the time to be buying municipal and state debt. I am not sure there is a US or Canadian government bond I would rate above junk status. Just buying gold or oil has a much better return without the risk. |

Doubtful, very doubtful. Those things are built like the proverbial brick sh*t house but hydrogen is going to take some special engineering not yet available in 1939. :-) |

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. |
