A comment on The Hydrogen Hoax.

smanek - note that almost the entire article was about using Hydrogen as a battery - the author pretty much quickly proved, and did not feel the need to belabor the point, that hydrogen is incapable of being used as an energy source. He also went on to show that it's pretty unlikely to ever be used as a battery either.

I'd love to see the article that refutes this article though...

Yes, there's a lot of "left field" research in this direction that might yield a breakthrough that would make H2 energy production and storage viable. Buckyball materials for storing, bacteria that create it from sunlight to create it, etc.

I have yet to see a really good synopsis of the promising research in these various directions and a decent analysis of which ones have promise and which are hype.

Anyone know?
