A very smart gentleman and futurist ask today if we could build barges
to make hydrogen fuel for cars? Put them in the ocean and let them
make hydrogen near transfer terminals to put into the distribution
system so we could deliver it to gas stations to put in cars and
trucks. Could it really be that easy? Indeed, sure that works, have
Desalination system prior to hydrogen separation collection system and
merely release the oxygen there?
Meanwhile we could put it on barges or even empty oil platforms near
shore, which are not being used? Oil companies wouldn't mind using
these rusting assets still on the books. The whole thing could be run
off of wind power claimed the Futurist or even ocean wave generation
too. So it would be self generation enabled and that makes sense too.
You see the 15 knot onshore breeze could power wind turbines and wave
energy is easy. Sure sounds good. Speaking of which and wind
generation:

All this technology is available now, no problem. Regarding the barge,
oil platform Hydrogen from water separation and collection we could
then release the oxygen by blowing it into a straw with massive grids
of roots and put the oxygen back into the water to help the decay of
sea life and de-oxygenated water causing dead zones.

The discharge oxygen grid would encompass the tidal flows, which are
natural, oxygen would go into both incoming and outgoing tides. Let
the ocean spread it around. Lets kill 50 birds with one stone, not
just one or two? Wow, my futurist friend is a smart guy indeed, just
think we could really save the environment in so many ways? Consider
all this in
2006.
