hahahaaa. u are …
hahahaaa. u are just some homeless garbage from a bankrupt country trying to show off whatever u have left. get a life. there is no hydrogen economy in iceland. there will never be one. your thermal energy is taken over by foreign aluminum mills. they are in control of you and your future. u have nothing left. so many young icelandic people are already moved out of that tiny island in drove. only the garbage like u still stuck there. krona is dead. reykjavik is dead. iceland is a wasteland. LOL

Needless to say, of …
Needless to say, of course I do. Generalizing shows ignorance and a short fuse. If I may, I will indulge myself into insulting you but you will probably not understand what I am saying. I believe that from whatever country you are from that you lack in manners and, judging from your spelling, intellect.
The game is yours, use your cards.

You know what is …
You know what is funny? Both Saevaroa and I speak/type better English than you despite being Icelandic. If you are going to run around and point fingers and shout out offensive comments then you can expect more fingers pointing back.

Nobody ever made …
Nobody ever made the claim that they were making energy out of nothing. Everyone around are well aware that electricity is required to split hydrogen from water, including that “idiot” professor.
The Icelanders are exited about this because they DON’T use oil or gas to produce electricity. They use a combination of hydroelectric and geothermal energy which this documentary clearly points out. If this works out for them, they can cut out a huge import cost from their economy.

Iceland is unique …
Iceland is unique in many ways. This little Island has good educational system, 3 universities and god health care. Amazing giving the fact that this little country only has a bit over 300 000 inhabitants. A little bit of wonder when you see how well they have done despite the crash of the economy and ill mannered bank policy for lenders. I hope Iceland will go forward with there hydrogen plans and in a stable manner change transport behavior. Good for them and us. So keep up the good work

When it comes to …
When it comes to the economy, most countries have suffered. And as in most countries the little guy has to pay the bill. When it comes to the riches in Iceland it is rater sad that many Icelanders do not know what they have. That been said we have to understand that most of us feel the same way in our own countries. It is as we are blind when it comes to ourselves and we think our country is fab. We do not see the faults others do from outside looking in. But we see others, don’t we?

you can install …
you can install turbine to turn and attach to generator which makes electricity

wow, its funny you …
wow, its funny you say that, my son and I just made a science experiment using a consumer bought solar panel and a couple of small stainless steel plates in water and baking soda. Yea, its small scale, but it works. So if we can do this at home, why cant a well funded facility do it on a larger scale?

Iceland uses hot …
Iceland uses hot water and other sources of water to make electricity. More and more countries are beginning to make electricity with sun, water and wind. Þetta reddast!

once the cycle is …
once the cycle is set in motion ie if you use solar to generate original source of power it can be self generating, its very clear and simple to me but maybe im being nieve

Fair point; but I …
Fair point; but I guess they are still looking at ways to do this efficiently. I heard that ydrogen can be more efficient at storing energy than powerlines though. Also If they were to use technology like CCS at the oil and gas powerstations there would be less co2 and other emmisions. (Obviously this does not solve the oil and gas problem completly, but it could be a start)

that is too wasting …
that is too wasting…
energy sure lost…
it is not like we have 50 years energy reservoir
capacity for the whole world

how to you expect …
how to you expect to do electrolysis on h20 without using energy from external source?
you cant equate it back…
even fussion/nuclear energy has to use particle mass to form energy…
something has to lose out, in order to gain..

you would use hho …
you would use hho to power the stations that make electricity to run hho generators its a simple equation actually oil is simply an easier means to control world economies

I think the …
I think the electricity will all come from geothermal energy and hydroelecticity, so no oil and gas.

still their banks …
still their banks went down the crapper, maybe better so they chose for a brief intense pain compared to the US being determined at prolonging the recession

last i checked, …
last i checked, japan and iceland were the only nations hunting whales also its pretty good for iceland to hunt whales becaues it provieds more food becaues whales eat alot of fish and we get more food and more fish to sell.I respetc youre opinion and i respetc you as a person but whale hunting isint so bad as long as two contries are only hunting

Looks like a very …
Looks like a very cold country.

this professor is …
this professor is an idiot.. what does the electricity? Oil and gas!
if you use electricity to extract hydrogen, there will be energy losses.. the energy losses is greater than using oil and gas.
so in the end, where do you get more energy to power your hydrogen car when oil and gas is gone?
March 10th, 2010 at 10:21 am
I agree with that, …
I agree with that, but how do you store it and when with they replace Platinum in Fuel cells, two major factors that get in the way

Why does Iceland …
Why does Iceland continue to kill whales?
-They do it in a pathetic attempt to hold onto the past so that they can continue to identify with their bloody legacy of whaling
-It is a blood sport to them and a way of indulging in the sadistic pleasure of killing whales and thumbing their noses at other nations.
-Killing whales is the pursuit of little people with small minds with a to destroy creatures more intelligent and more beautiful than themselves.

Yes I believe it …
Yes I believe it can, but not in the near future, unless a global revolution occurs. The truth is that Governments and Industries are already too embedded in the infrastructure and corruption that the only true way for Green-businesses to penetrate in a global scale is for Governments to see the “supplemental” income it could generate if it were to transit to the new form of business.

It doesn’t have to …
It doesn’t have to be that way, people can make a lot of money by saving the environment and using clean and renewable energy.
