ignat,
lol, yes i have my Swhin (?) bycicle parked in the garage AND my third honda motorcycle is coming soon
the fat Santa forgot about it..
STILL,
VERY INNEFFICIENT? Carnaud ?
prove it,
have not met her yet...
Trust me the ydo
why should i?

still,
no i dont know, not even sure if those fast trains utilize it.
all i now is ibm invented DOS for PC and Bill took the ball and ran with it.

Yes, you can extract it from water, but it takes huge amounts of electricity, which, in the United States, is generated mostly by using fossil fuels

Electrolisis should be the way to go, genereating electricy is another related controversial issue, which obviously involve the same people.
there are a few ways to generate PLENTY electricity without using oil or any other hydrocarbons
i assume you know the sources...
history will tell you that oil was cheap but reality tell us is no longer cheap nor available for ever.
BUT is was and still is good business for powerfull people (bush?) hi demand and low or controlled supply,
did you mention Irak?
THAT is all to it...

what about low head kaplan turbines?

what about reversible turbines?

assuming 2 meter head

ok
i have been trying to get quotations for kaplan turbines from china... jqjkbou[pf;adjfas8609er
But will consider used units

We ara arriving to the same conclusion, except that you dont mention that hydrogen can be obtained from a source other than oil, gas, gasoline etc,... WATER.

Wild,
It seems to work like they want it to, but it said that if it were to retail today, it would cost as much as a warehouse full of corvettes.

Same as a pc several years years ago.
"cautiousness"?
proper use of hydrogen is no problem, rocket, space vehicles used it for decades and the techonology.to make vehicles move by electric motors instead of gas engines is very old stuff.
to me is not coutiousness but intentional "resistance to change" to keep control on energy supply. As you probably know anyone can generate her/his own hydrogen at home given the "tool", same way you have a refrigerator to make ice and a microwave oven to cook etc etc. Just a portable or transportable hydrogen generator, which you can actually buy right now except it cost too much. AND probably banned to the public in the future.
jim,
Yes, but look a little closer... who is investing heavily in fuel cell technology? The big oil companies.
exactly, "investing" and keeping it on hold until they figure out how to leave everyone out the new business
Think about it. Who has an investment already in all of the fueling stations - and has the capability to deliver massive amounts of fuel?
If a true 'hydrogen' supplier were to try to get established... how successful would they be? Think how expensive it would be.
distribution gets to be a difficult thing.
Not really, they fear that consumer AND entire COUNTRIES may find a way to bypass the distributor and dealer and become more independent.

i was wondering how many famous actors, musicians, and other public figures either are jw's or became jw's at some point in their life.

eveyone knows about [b] prince{b], and [b]michael jackson[/b], but i've also heard that they snagged up [b]george benson[b], a former indian prime minister and rapper [b]dres[/b] of the group the black sheep.

obviously this will be a short list since the society doesn't do much to encourge any kind of success, especially not the kind that will leave you with millions of adoring fans.

Michelle Rodriguez was raised jw, an star in the movies Fast and the Furious, Blue Crush, SWAT etc

It is very expensive to build so I understand the cautiousness.

There is always an excuse for not implementing "alternative energy" in some form. Amtrak would rather use old technology, big diesel engines consuming 3 gallons per mile!
Another case is the electric car (using electric motors) getting electricity from fuelcell which in turn only need hydrogen the cheapest chemical you can think about, instead of a gas tank you use an hydrogen tank. Oil (gasoline) are technically obsolete.
Big oil guys are keeping everything on hold.

Still,
Nikola Tesla a Croatian who migrated to the usa
The Brtish Farady played only with DC
But the AC invented by Tesla is what make posible all kind of other good things like the latest vehcles powered by three phase AC electric motor
