Hi Vince and All,
This would be good except that EV's powered by
the hydro would be a lot more eff than H2.
Then there is the little problem of storing it
as H2 seeps through steel! Pipelines are the only way
to use it now. Not good for transport, worse than an
extension cord!! ;-))
To use it in an ICE usually melts the engine
after a while. Never heard of a high time H2 engine.
There best bet is to export the electricity to
europe or make methane from it.
The only EV they mention is a Fuel cell unit
with the same problems above besides, FC are
unattainable..
