Process requires Cobalt.
here’s the world’s top sources of Cobalt:
Democratic Republic of Congo. Mine production: 130,000 MT. ...
Russia. Mine production: 8,900 MT. ...
Australia. Mine production: 5,900 MT. ...
Canada. Mine production: 3,900 MT. ...
Philippines. Mine production: 3,800 MT. ...
Cuba. Mine production: 3,800 MT. ...
Papua New Guinea. ...
Madagascar.
And China either owns outright or controls most of the Cobalt mines in the Congo.
Cannot be repealed.
thats what the junk science greenie idiots push, a large amount returns to water but there is massive loss in the total process, that water is never coming back to earth
..... and tell you "well it turns back to water" and "there's a pandemic, wear a dust mask", and "Feed Brawndo to your crops, it has electrolytes" and people will believe it !
, in fact they will gobble up that crap like candy
Do you realize that plants and many bacteria break down water every day?
“photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.”
People who are ignorant should at least try not to expose themselves by commenting in public. Nitwits are not worth my time. Begone.
and when this hydrogen escapes into the atmosphere, who is going to go collect it and turn it back into water ?
Al Gore ?
Santa Clause ?
you are being what you are accusing me of , maybe you should get a job with government
Clean?
Ecologically sustainable?
Low cost?
Using cobalt?
How stupid do they think I am?
%/
Insulting , isn’t it !?
The biggest fly in the green hydrogen fuel scam is
The energy used to keep it liquid
To keep it contained and not leaking out through even metal.
Isn’t cobalt mined by mostly child SLAVE labor ?
There is more free H2 in the atmosphere than CO2 and it is constantly being taken up by soil bacteria and it is reactive enough that it combines with oxygen and other elements in the atmosphere and very rarely reaches escape velocity from the Earth's atmosphere.
Do you know what books and internet search tools are and how to perform basic research for yourself? If you do then it appears that you are just committed to bray like an ignorant jackass and embarrass everyone.
🤔
There you go again flying your moron flag. I am not making the claim that this technology will be efficient enough to enable a hydrogen based economy. What I am saying is that it won’t cause hydrogen being lost from the Earth.
It’s like talking to a wall, a very, very stupid wall.
Interesting, but this will not overcome the laws of thermal dynamics.
The hydrogen fuel cycle is less than 50% efficient, meaning that given 1 unit of electrical power used to create hydrogen, you get less than 50% of the work done with even the most efficient hydrogen fuel technologies. Stated another way, you get less than half the work done as you would have gotten if just using the electricity to run an electric motor directly.
Most all hydrogen generated today is a bi-product of petroleum refining, FYI.
Hydrogen has other big problems, too. It goes boom, boom. Remember the Hindenburg? Hydrogen atoms are so tiny it leaks out of containment vessels very easily. When it mixes with other gasses it becomes highly corrosive, as well.
yes, total earth water is being depleted constantly, the Earth will get old and die.
using Hydrogen for fuel will exponentially speed up the dying process by depleting the earths precious water resource, and producing hydrogen for fuel has no environmental or logical advantage, unlike using oil for fuel.
but you are the smartest wall in the garden and have the Google search bias consensus to back you up ! I am sure Google will confirm that you need a COVID booster shot also
Look at the names of the researchers...
“by Lina Chong, Guoping Gao, Jianguo Wen, Haixia Li, Haiping Xu, Zach Green, Joshua D. Sugar, A. Jeremy Kropf, Wenqian Xu, Xiao-Min Lin, Hui Xu, Lin-Wang Wang and Di-Jia Liu,”
“THE LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS WILL NOT BE REPEALED......”
On the general subject of emissions by our transportation vehicles, why hasn’t electrifying our railroads by overhead wires been seriously considered? They do it a lot in Europe.
We’d get a lot more bang for our buck doing this rather than deploying batteries all over the place.
But I think the idea of replacing fossil fuels is ridiculous.
Water converting into H2 and oxygen and burning back into water again does not deplete the water supply.
The problem is net drain in energy to do either conversion.
Sorry, fraidy-cat, compared to the natural and biology processes that produce and consume hydrogen humans splitting water into hydrogen fuel is extremely minuscule and will have zero impact on the amount of hydrogen or water on this planet.
Nuclear fusion however, if we ever mastered, will reduce the amount of heavy hydrogen (deuterium) and thus the amount of heavy water on this planet as it consumes deuterium to form helium.
A small amount gets burned in the motor and returns to water , but most of the hydrogen escapes and will never get bonded with oxygen, the water is lost forever
