First, I did see that DU link. I didn't recommend it. And I seriously doubt we can produce even a tiny fraction of our energy needs through biomass hydrogen recovery.

Ulf Bossel is not just "one author". He is one of the foremost leading fuel cell researchers. His main point was that moving electrons is far better than moving hydrogen.

I predict hydrogen will not be in our vocabulary much longer. I could be wrong. But at this point in time, electric motors running off of renewable resources like wind, solar going into batteries is most likely where we're headed.

Our real problem is just how much energy we're using. And I don't think people are even aware yet how fast it is increasing right now. Faster than population growth.
