And where do mass quantities of hydrogen currently come from??? - Steve O 12:48:27 11/19/14 (13)

well, the most elegant source (besides interstellar) is electrolysis of water - mhardy6647 15:23:25 11/19/14 (11)

ahhh! gotcha! Not sure which bug/enzyme, but I don't doubt it... - mhardy6647 11:35:23 11/22/14 (4)

yup - it produces CO2, so not exactly a panacea - mhardy6647 18:27:35 11/22/14 (2)

Yes it does but... - b.l.zeebub 04:05:06 11/23/14 (1)

Yep, massive nuclear fusion is our salvation... - Steve O 16:24:31 11/19/14 (1)

I don't think controlled fusion is practical, full stop -- unfortunately - mhardy6647 17:01:22 11/19/14 (0)

You're mistaking H2 with SO2. ;-) * - b.l.zeebub 07:01:26 11/20/14 (1)

actually more like CH4 (which is odorless) and H2S (which ain't) :-) (nt) - mhardy6647 13:33:38 11/20/14 (0)
