what ragdoll said. it takes more energy to do the electrolysis to seperate the water than you get from the hydrogen. so its not a solution unless you are creating the initial energy from solar/wind/wave/geothermal energy. it pi$$es me off that the media makes out its free energy... the story is probably funded by the US government to stop people worrying about the impending energy crisis...

niseko property...
alferg replied to wave251's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
a friend of a friend bought land in niseko, fairly central, in 2004 - its worth triple now apparently... out of curiousity, i've taken a peek at the (numerous) real estate pages, & the prices are huge - in fact they are quite similar to sydney real estate prices. -
