New technique creates cheap, abundant hydrogen: report That's a link to the story.

Sustainable and efficient biohydrogen production via electrohydrogenesis That's a link to the abstract and pdf of the original article, a FReebie. I haven't read the pdf.

Regardless of the fact that I think anthropogenic climate change/global warming is bunk, shouldn't we demand energy independence? Weren't tar sands and shale oil supposed to be viable at $70 per barrel of oil? I don't care how we get the energy that we need, whether it's ANWAR, offshore oil or methane clathrates, whatever. IMHO, anything else is better than supporting the likes of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia, Venezuela, etc., in the fungible oil market.

Bingo! And that's where the American Left and Right need to come together.

But that would make too much sense as it would eliminate the "issue" and both sides would have to re-examine their justifications for existence.

I agree completely. Let's start building burner nuclear plants, re-start the breeder reactor programs, start pouring funding into Bussard's fusion breakthrough, and accessing all the energy we need, from whatever source. I'd be willing to pay an extra $1/gallon gas tax if the money were specified to go ONLY to research and implementation of new sources of energy.

I agree 100%. We will get our money back when the “oil sheikhs” become “sand sheikhs” with nothing to sell but sand and they have to purchase food from us. We can use the food money to fund missionaries in Arabia (the anti-Madrassa). Hoo Yah!

As Laura Ingraham says, ‘an area of purple agreement’

Fred Thompson needs to take this tack bigtime.
