Water provides an ideal source of pure hydrogen – abundant and free of harmful greenhouse gas byproducts.
Under AGW theory, water vapor is a more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2.

Minor details.............;^)
Well soap, at least.
Like garlic to a vampire........or is that werewolves?....I forget..............
Mr. Badger, this seems to relate to the other article you posted a month ago.
Hybrid copper-gold nanoparticles convert CO2 (To Hydrocarbons!)

I find the site that both articles link to rather interesting. There was a show on PBS about 16 years ago about the speed of technological change. One of the statements made in the show was that if you were to take a man of “today” and project him 25 years in the future, they would think the world of that future worked on magic.
Time has proven that to be absolutely true. We have ten years to go, yet look what we have done since then. In 1996, few people had heard of the internet. Few people had cell phones and even home computers were essentially used for Microsoft works or lame games. And GPS for the masses, and smart phones, and on and on. A lot has changed. A lot more (exponentially speaking) will in the next ten years.
Well yeah - that was kind of the joke.
I wouldn’t mind living in a cave as long as it had central heat and AC with satellite and Internet................
Stopped reading after the first sentence. Virtually all of the combustible Hydrogen on the planet is tied up in the biosphere, laying on the ocean floor, or conveniently bound to long chains of Carbon and buried in the ground.
—Hydrogen and oxygen recombine to make water vapor, which is a hundred times more powerful of a ‘greenhouse gas’ than CO2, ergo it must be stopped...—
The water vapor should be easily condensed and dumped right back into the tank. Imagine car crashes that involve a leaking fuel tank, which means the passengers get wet...
—China has all the molybdenum.—
Obviously they’ve never heard of The Brothers O’toole and the town of “Mollybedamned”.
does it get more out than is put in?

The PC that was on the desk was an IBM XT 286 and was used primarily for writing business letters and accessing the mainframe:
We had a Coleco Adam computer at home that was primarily a game machine:
CD still stood for 'Certificate of Deposit' and VHS was battling Beta for dominance in the market.
Both the Challenger and Chernobyl blew up and Michael Jackson was still black................
No, the amount of hydrogen remains the same............
so... the energy output is equal to the energy input?
I sold electronics from 1996 through 1982. I owned Beta and Laserdisk. ;)
I also have an IBM XT that I save as an “antique”. It has that nice green screen, 8” floppy drive and Microsoft Works. I also sold Atari 400’s and 800’s back in the day.
I also remember the first version of Encarta, which was made utterly obsolete by the web. The part I remember the most is the explanation of how a jet engine works. It actually included an animation of an engine doing what it does with clear explanation of the functionality of the components.
That was the moment I realized that Public Schools would die. A picture is worth a thousand words, and a single piece of software that is able to explain better than any teacher, and allow the student to partially or fully rewind to review if there was any confusion. And now we have things like this: Khanacademy.org
Give it all another ten years.
Ask the next plant you see how harmful carbon dioxide is.
There are losses of course, but the extraction of hydrogen is cheaper than using platinum....
All those inventions were initially funded for military purposes. If we continue to cut military spending to fund welfare spending as Barky is doing then leaps in technology will slow to a snail striddle. The reason America leads in technology is because we fund a big military. The wealth of a nation is correlated with how much military investment was made 30 to 40 years ago.
Yes it does sound almost like like a perpetual motion - water in, water out, and the car moves. I can’t believe anything would work that way.
ON the other hand, if it DID work, I can see a potential application in ammo - the human body being about 70% water... Might make for a heck of wound if you have to take down zombies or goblins.
