Hydorgen fuel

Why hydrogen fuel is the end game!

Around the world companies and governments are scrambling for the last drops of oil. (For details about all the "deals" read " Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet" by Michael T Klare.) In this book he details. the extent to which oil companies and governments will go to secure any remaining future oil supplies.

However, none of these efforts mean anything as all the existing oil provinces are depleting. According to the IEA of some 800 major sources of oil around the world the average depletion, (depletion is defined as the point in an oil well or oil field when approximately half of the recoverable oil has been extracted and ever after less and less oil can be had.), is running at six to seven percent per year.

By 2035 there will be a short fall of approximately fifty million barrels per day from the existing fields and another twenty million barrels per day of new demand from the worlds growing economies.

Today, in 2011, the world consumes approximately eight five million barrels per day so how on earth is oil going to continue to power ninety seven percent of transportation and some fifteen percent of electricity generation around the world.

The world vehicle fleet is currently at 800,000,000 and rapidly heading for 1,000,000,000 as China and India add millions of casr to their roads every year. (The projection is for 1,600,000,000 vehicles to be on the roads by 2035.

Exactly what fuel are they going to run on? - certainly not oil

Therefore the only way to keep transportation moving is to change to a fuel that can't run out, that can't deplete. That fuel is hydrogen.

Eleven percent of all the oceans is hydrogen and when you burn hydrogen or electrochemically convert it in a fuel cell you get water vapor back, so hydrogen fuel is endlessly recyclable.

What is beyond comprehension is why the world will spend literally trillions of dollars grubbing for the last bits of oil instead of starting the transition to hydrogen fuel.

Answer that question if you can?
