Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe, and makes up one-ninth of the weight of all the waters in the oceans that cover 70% of the Earth.
Hydrogen is not in short supply and can never run out by using it to provide for social needs.
Hydrogen can serve as
motor vehicle fuel,
cooking gas,
home heating fuel, and has been used to make vast quantities of the world's
fertilizers since before World War I. Ordinary 13% efficiency solar cells produce on average 12 kilograms of Hydrogen per hour, or 72 kilograms per day, per acre in the US southwest sunbelt, about 29 tons per year.
Photovoltaics -- PV, for short -- is made of Silicon, the main stuff that cheap disposable glass bottles and jars are made of. Solar panels collecting sunlight ought to be as cheap as beer bottles and mayonaise jars. There are 24 million watthours of raw solar power arriving on every acre of land in the US sunbelt states every day of the year. 24 megawatt-hours, if it could be captured, would power 168 homes for one full day and night, off of one single acre of daily sunshine. H2-PV website discusses capturing 13% to over 50% of that solar power.
Two things make PV: energy and equipment. The energy is delivered free as sunlight every day once one has the PV panels to collect it, and the equipment can be made as much as is wanted. Once the equipment is bought, and the sunpower is free, the only expense that looms large is people working in the PV factories to make more PV panels. An acre of PV can produce 10.5 acres of new PV per year, about one new acre increase every 35 days.
H2-PV website explores the issues in making PV by the Acres, Hydrogen by the Tons.
