Rwanda would be better off without it

someone who knows something about science explain to me what the whole hydrogen fuel idea is... if it requires the use of water, i think thats the stupidest fucking idea ive ever heard of... we dont have enough water right now for agriculture, consumption and the variety of other uses! but maybe im confused about the whole hydrogen thing... every time someone has tried to articulate to me the concept it seemed like scientists wanted to take water and turn it into fuel.... hmmm..

I could be totally wrong on this, but I think you could use seawater, which can't be used for agriculture, consumption, etc... and is, uh, fairly abundant.

has to be purified, which takes electricity, which we are also short on... de-salinization plants are expensive... they would have to find a new way to take the salt out of the water... but does the hydrogen process really take water... still not sure

Are you sure it has to be desalinized? I'm not sure why it would be necessary if you're just breaking the water down to get hydrogen.

there is a definate distinction between salt water and purified H20... im not positive either about whether or not they could just seperate the salt when the seperate the hydrogen... hopefully someone else can clue us in on this experimental process.

it's like the reverse of letting electricity pass thru water. it sepperates the water into hydrogen at the cathode and oxygen at the anode.
so if you let oxygen and hydrogen flow around two plates serving as anodes and cathodes, they are chemically atracted to eachother. this creates usuable electricity and the byproducts are heat and water.

so water goes in, steam comes out?

of course, petroleum jelly makes ur arse slick so u can be banged more easily.

no, no steam.
it's not a very efficient way anyway. to create pure hydrogen more electricity is required than it will produce.

its good too have a sizeable ego
