The Hydrogen Economy

The link above was something that piqued my curiosity after listening to an interesting conversation about a hydrogen-based economy on NPR. It was a (mostly) non-partisan discussion, and it brought up a lot of points that I never considered, such as the staggering challenge of converting not only our automobile infrastructure to support the change, but our buildings and homes as well. I think we can do it, though, as we have seen that throughout history, necessity has been the mother of invention; hence the nuclear bomb and optical technology (CD's and DVD's), things that were ahead of their time when they were invented. Perhaps that way, when we have no foreign dependence on oil and our own domestic energy sources, we can eliminate the scourge that is fundamental islam forever.
