[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3128679, member: 43724"] Not yet there isn't, but that doesn't mean we should stop all research. I agreed that wind/solar so far have been a bust with the exception of people putting solar panels on their homes. But, that only works during the day, at night they are back on the grid or just live in the dark. One thing else, and this is back to using Hydrogen, you stated that separating Hydrogen takes too much energy to make it viable, again, I agree. My physics teacher touched on this. The analogy he gave is that the energy potential in hydrogen is like a wound spring with a hidden trigger. Right now we do not know what the trigger is, so we have to go the long way to get the potential energy out. There could come a time when we find an easier way to disrupt the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen without spending an equal amount of energy to do so. Much like the small mechanical energy is needed to release potential energy in a primer, which then releases the potential energy stored in the gunpowder. This is what I mean by I hope to live to see a time when coal, nuclear and fossil fuel is removed from society and a cleaner, renewable energy source is used instead. [/QUOTE]
