Update on "What Money Can't Buy"
Hi folks.
For those of you who have read my book "what Money Can"t Buy", you will notice wrote in it that I was continueing to research this material. I have been reading a ton (more) of material online and offline at bookstores and libraries. The more I look at it, the more I see Hydrogen as not the perfect solution, once I found out they are using fossil fuel to make the gas or for generating the electricity to crack the gas from water. I a perfect world, we would already have efficient solar panels and wind generators in place to crack the hydrogen from water. Since those technologies have been(untill recently)suffering from a lack or R&D funding. They are not mature enough to handle that load (yet). There is hope for the future.
I think the uses for hydrogen would be better put to use as a fuel to heat the home and fuel the car, or better yet, motor assisted bicycles for innercity traffic and concentrate on rail as the main form of travel on long distances. If each home had solar panels and/or wind generators and an area to create methane in a controled manner and they where still hooked to the grid that was itself running on green energy, each home could crack their own hydrogen from rain water.
That is too much to ask for right now. How about something simple like each community having a green energy station set up to provide our own electricity ( and hence hydrogen)that is run like the PUC. That would not be asking too much. That is doable right now. If we were intelligent about this, we would never have to go through another black out or brown out and we could sell any extra to the grid. Those revenues would be paid back to the community or set aside for upgrading. Either way our fuel and electrical cost would not fluctuate much and stable costs keep prosperity flowing. Stability and sustainabilty = prosperity. Anything else is exploitive.
The fluctuations in fuel prices is creating havoc with our economy and the world economy. This is a political side to the problem. Everything is intertwined. We need practical solutions NOW!
If not- the dire predictions of the end of our society as we know it, will come to pass. Read my book, then tell me if I am wrong. I am a big boy,I can take it. I would love to be proved wrong. I am not looking foreward to having to fend for myself. I must if I must, but I do not have to like it.
