Hey guys. Wanted to share an interesting article I found through a friend's blog. I heard a lecture at the end of the year all about the integration of a hydrogen economy. It was really cool to hear about the advances in using green hydrogen as a source of energy, but what was even more interesting was to hear and think about the possible implications for our world if we shift from a petroleum based economy. What do you Think? Is the energy crisis for real? What is our response as the largest users of this type of energy in the world? How involved should we be in securing free energy for developing countries? Check out this article....

Dude...Yorkspace? More like Dorkspace...j/k :) You know I love to bust your balls. Anyhow, I know you posted this like a month ago but I thought I would respond because I just found your site (through Brian Jensen's). I recently watched Anderson Cooper 360 and they were talking about ethanol as an alternative fuel. Funny thing is, according the the reporters, it takes almost a gallon of oil to make one gallon of ethanol! Hydrogen seems right on target for the next great energy source...we just need to figure out how to mass produce it. Oh yeah, keep blogging.
Not sure when Bryan posted his comment, but I'm guessing it was a while ago, but my vote is for electric alternatives to fuel (ie electric cars) because I agree that ethanol is bogus for lots of reasons and hydrogen is expensive and somewhat illogical. There's a good documentary on this called "Who Killed the Electric Car" that is sort of lame, but had some good info. Anyway, that's my two cents or whatever.
Thanks to both of you for even thinking about these issues, and sorry for not keeping up with my blog (I'm trying to get into the habit). I think you're on to something too Chris... I just saw a show about electric cars like three days ago, and the guy talking about them was commenting on how energy efficent electric cars were.
My thougths though are that we will still have to find better ways of producing electricity to begin with. Pour more resources in renewable energies like solar, and hydro-power plants would certinly be part of this solution.
