[sharechat] Forget Hydrogen Power using H2 directly

Hydrogen as a direct input is pie in the sky. It may well produce nice clean energy but it has to come from somewhere, and be transportable to where it is needed.

My understanding is that the methanol/ethanol route as an on site feed for fuel cells is more likely. These can be produced readily from natural gas or biomass in the future and transported safely. Both are easily diluted with water to produce a safe low/non flammable result that precautions may be only the need to surround the tank with a water jacket.
