Question by threecharliekilo: What Effect Will Hydrogen Fuels Have OnThe World’s Water Supply?
Hydrogen for fuel must be harvested from water molecules. If hydrogen fuels catch on, what sort of effects will it have on the world’s water supply? Will a substantial amount of the world’s water end up being used for fuel? Just as we face oil shortages will we one day face a water shortage?

Answer by WILLIAM
Hydrogen as a fuel when consumed converts back to water therefore little or no impact on the water supply. Ocean salt water can be converted to hydrogen too. It’s the energy needed to convert the water to hydrogen as a fuel that will be its demise I assume. I believe researchers proposed using electrical nuclear power plants to generate hydrogen by splitting the water molecules, this was back in the 1980′s. They were going to place the power plants off-shore. Maybe some time in the future scientist will be able to harness electrical strikes (lightening) to power hydrogen fuel plants, maybe.
