Pretty much every major government is putting R&D into hydrogen. That doesn't mean it is going to be a viable fuel for vehicular transportation any time soon. Eventually? Maybe - but as I said that is going to require a completely new technology to come alone that human being just don't have yet either in the form…

Celebrimbor doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would return as a vengeful ghost to order some guy to go around whacking off orc chieftains for bounty rewards. But whatever. :)

Hitchhikers and Dhalgren over Lord of the Rings? Pht. This better not be "in order of importance". I love Galaxy as much as the next guy, but to put it at #1? No way.

But there wasn't just one guy who was betrayed. The great rings were made by several of the great Eregion smiths. There was one guy - Celebrimor - who was part of that group who had secretly made the three Elven rings without Sauron's knowledge. But it was the whole group that was betrayed.

There's two kinds of fuel cells, but the most common one is the one you're talking about (PEMFC). Other types try to generate hydrogen on the fly as a combustion source rather than combining hydrogen and oxygen to generate electricity. But they really aren't considered 'the future' of Hydrogen so yeah I probably…

Apology accepted. But my 'feelings' were not hurt. It's just when I come across this kind of bigotry I come down on it very hard because people need to learn that there is no "good" bigotry. I slam it hard as a means of getting people to think twice before they say that kind of crap.

A lot of "the internet" thinks…

Yes - your bigotry and prejudice could have "been phrased better". Understatement of the century, even on the internet. For your next trick perhaps you can come up with better phrasing on how you like to kick puppies, make fun of the disabled, and beat women. But - haw haw - since you pick on Mormons you think its…

What you call "hyperbole", science calls "facts". It is unfortunate that you react negatively to them. They are what they are.

12 gallons of liquid hydrogen used to generate power for an electric motor. Doesn't matter if its 50 or 12 or 1 gallon - the safety limitations for handling it mean that no one is going to…

So decidedly not true. You do realize that lying about people you disagree with makes you way worse than anything you think they're guilty of, do you not?

Last time I looked 31 was close to 35

Oh - to be sure the stupid environmentalists are not the ONLY parties in this parade of stupid. However, when a new power plant gets proposed the other litigants typically find that stupid environmentalists have gotten there first. And even the stupid other people who aren't necessarily environmentalists tend to use…

Every solar plant, wind plant, or hydro plant that is ever proposed gets delayed and/or shot down because activists protest the use of the land over endangered species muckity-muck, or because it'll threaten some smelt 100 miles downstream, or because the windmills will chop up birds that migrate through that spot...…

No - the problem with hydrogen is that it takes almost 100 volumetric gallons of gaseous hydrogen to equal one gallon of gasoline. It takes over 4 gallons of liquid hydrogen to equal one gallon of gasoline. The problem is not available electricity. The problem is that hydrogen has a crappy compression rate.

Yes - and there is a difference between a stupid environmentalist and a sensible one. A sensible environmentalist would accept that the nation is NOT going to become fossil-free any time in the foreseeable future. Our transportation needs alone ensure that we're going to be on fossil fuel (at least for cars, trucks,…

The Flux Capacitor must be mine!

Preach it. The only reason that perfectly clean and viable modern Thorium reactors are not powering our entire nation is because of the opposition of stupid environmentalists.

"The safest bet, if you still have some lying around? Get rid of them. That little ball bearing pyramid you made just isn't worth the risk."

No - I totally mean it. Probably not the way you think I mean it. In your head you probably interpret it as me being a racist. In reality, what I mean is that it is ridiculous, counter-productive, and even insulting to ALL people when someone crams token Diversity Quotas into a story when they have no historically…

Frankly if they made an Arabian Knights movie and it wasn't primarily stocked with Arabs then Id' think it was silly. Why would anyone have a bunch of white people starring in an Arabian Knights movie?

What other one would be worthy?
