this site say theyre gonna take hydrogen out of water.....


Now what you said is KIND of right. As of now...they are taking Hydrogen out of gasoline and yes...carbon is left behind. (I dont know what they do to it though. ) This process is called "reforming". They use heat to seperate the carbon and hydrogen molecules. But take notice...they are not going to use this process to get hydrogen if we use fuel cell instead of gasoline. They are gonna get Hydrogen from Water...(h2o)...they'll seperate it by using eletrical current. Why dont we use it now?? Its EXPANSIVE to do it this method. I THINK only nasa uses this liquid hydrogen to propel their rockets. they're probably the only one who can afford it.

they are researchin for a more feasible way to harness hydrogen. (of course....makin it affordable and environmental friendly).

Dont get me wrong but hydrogen is the most abundace element in the universe. im pretty sure we'll find hydrogen somewhere else rather then gasoline...?

"Hydrogen can be produced from a wide variety of domestic resources using a number of different technologies."

this quote came from this site:

Dont you think this is a reliable source?


Maybe you knew all of this already then Kudos to you.....maybe someone else learned something when reading this.
