What consequences could arise from relying on hydrogen power?

    Hydrogen Power
Click For Summary
Relying on hydrogen power presents significant challenges, particularly concerning water scarcity, as splitting water to produce hydrogen would necessitate extensive desalination of oceans. This process could lead to increased salinity and detrimental effects on marine life, potentially transforming ecosystems. The discussion highlights the misconception that burning hydrogen generates more water; in reality, it merely recycles the original water used in the process. Critics argue that focusing solely on hydrogen overlooks the need for a balanced approach to energy solutions that considers environmental impacts. Ultimately, a combination of renewable energy sources and individual responsibility is essential for sustainable energy practices.

There is an important difference between ignorance (not knowing) and stupidity (not being able to accommodate new information).

Some people ask 5 questions and some ask 10 or more. Some ask none but none are stupid (perhaps) but those that think they know everything or know something about something, or everything about something yet lack the people skills to make any reasonable human being care what they do or do not know.

If they invent something we reward them with a fist full of dollars and a piece of paper and or a pin or medal but we never give them respect if they are seen as being full of self and if they do not treat others like they want to be treated. On the other hand, we can tolorate the stupid that were born that way Vs one who chooses to treat others as being benieth them.

To each their own but I admit I am very good at some things and very bad at others... I guess I am only human too...

Lighten up and chuckle. Remember, every word everyone writes on the new might follow them forever,,, even when you are famous and or rich... You may be Pres someday...:-)

I wouldn't call these people stupid. In this politically correct age we might best refer to them as "Socially Challenged".

So, what, you charge batteries up with the solar panels during the day and run your computor off an inverter at night? Wireless laptop?

Zoo,

I am only a chimp but your negative and non productive has boored even me (very hard to do too)... You have no point and worst, nothing positive or constructive to add to anything of concern to me ,,, a mear chimp so thus I will simply take a nap and remember when the MK board had so much more to offer (like a year or so ago)...

Although I found the information great here when I posted this and my querries I also sadly found the aditude very lacking and thus the intent of this board may have been lost for now. That is very sad considering the limited bandwith here at present.

MK is a real cool guy and I love hearing him speak as well as on the radio but I do wish he could come up with a better defination of gravity LOL:-) Then others could create devices to offset the effects of said force.

Ta ta Zoo... and all other abrasive posters. I wish all of you well in the future and I hope you all learn something other than how great "I AM" ( that means YOU ARE). Without proper communication you can never sell the greatest invention to the stupidest person on Earth and if by chance you do,,, they will never respect you and thus will never give you your due for you have not grown into a human being yet.

Please learn and grow or you and the children of the world ( your own children) will surlly suffer even unto death...

Think please think. bye

Oh, so THAT's why you're here, you're one of the Michio Kookoos. You remember when the Kaku forum didn't actually have so much reality and science mixed in.

Um. Right. Anti-gravity machines. I should have seen this coming with this thread...

Actually, all historical evidence is that the greatest inventions (electricity and automobiles, for examples) sell themselves quite well. Consumers continue to use the inventions even when the sellers (utility companies and car salesmen) generally piss everyone off.
and if by chance you do,,, they will never respect you and thus will never give you your due for you have not grown into a human being yet.
Humm.. and I always thought businesses were out to make money. I'm sure Bill Gates lies awake at night in his $10,000 sheets worrying about how many people respect him.

Really this claim goes back to the Germans and the Hydrogen Anti-Gravity system. One was called the Hindenberg.

So hoist up the John B. sails
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore to let me go home.
I want to go home.
Why don't you let me go home?
This is the worst trip
I've ever been on.

I have an anti-gravity device: Its rubber and is filled with a special gas which counters the force of gravity.

Think I should patent it?

Ah, the old condom-full-of-hydrogen trick, eh?
