Submission + - Zubrin Takes On the "Hydrogen Hoax" (thenewatlantis.com)
EccentricAnomaly writes: Robert Zubrin (of Mars Direct fame) has written a new article attacking the "Hydrogen Hoax." Using basic chemistry, energy balance, and the experience of a rocketeer who's worked with Hydrogen he debunks the Hydrogen economy on points ranging from energy efficiency to economics to greenhouse gases to automobile safety. He proposes using ethanol/methanol as fuel instead. (And although this proposal can be debated — particularly the wisdom of using food as fuel — his points about the infeasibility of Hydrogen as auto fuel still stand.)
