Once more: the solar-hydrogen economy

In times where all we hear is ‘going electric’, it is sometimes good to read the summary of an overview article written by Australion professor Abbott on invitation of the IEEE. The article still has to appear, but the highlights have been published on physorg.com. Forget about the somehwat weird introduction on the burning fuel tank, but read on and see how Abbott comes to the conlusion that in the long run Solar Energy generating liquid hydrogen is the solution. In my opinion his strongest point is that it does not matter that this is inefficient, since there is an abundance of solar energy. A simple argument.

About Willem

Willem Boersma was trained as a chemical engineer, works in software development and is interested in new technologies. He believes that the Dow Jones saw three periods of more or less continuous rise in the 20th century. From 1900-1920 because of developments in transportation. From 1945-1965 because of developments in productivity. And from 1985-2000 because of developments in information technology. He is convinced that the next rise will start somewhere around 2015 and will be due to developments in sustainable technology. Until that happens, he is looking for evidence of the opposite.
