It has nothing to do with market share
- EvanAnderson 9y ago"Primary energy source" is a term with a specific meaning. I'm not talking about market share. Primary energy sources do not require any type of conversion. Fossil fuels, nuclear, wind, and solar are all primary energy sources. Free hydrogen isn't found in nature. It can be made by splitting water using energy from a primary source. The catalyst described in this press release makes that process more efficient, but it still takes energy from a primary source to create hydrogen.

- derefr 9y ago> Free hydrogen isn't found in nature. Sure it is; you just have to go kind of far out of the solar system before you'll start running into it. Molecular clouds of hydrogen are what makes those pretty Hubble pictures of nebulae. :)
- EvanAnderson 9y agoHeh heh... you're bringing back memories of "Fuel Scoops" in Elite on my C64!
