no im not im standing hear with the in front of the whole forum asking you for a straight answer to my question. you said hydrogen powers these stations but wont tell us how or where they get the hydrogen from. feel free to enlighten us all. but so far you are trying your hardest to avoid answering.
why is that....... ???

wow you must relay be struggling to keep this up musnt you. lol this is quite amusing.

i will explain again. how do they extract the hydrogen from the sea?

We use far more electricty now than even a few years ago....Where do you get these mythical ideas from?

A small amount of proof....
A typical house in the Uk used to have one ring main, they dont now ;)

wow you make this so easy. thank you sceptic. so where shal we start?......

problem one

in the source you provided it describes how the ENERGY PRODUCED by nuclear power stations is used in electrolysis to create the hydrogen. didn't you say nuclear power plants dont create electricity? ???

problem 2

the hydrogen produced isnt a form or energy because it uses more energy to create than it will ultimately produce. its what they call in the industry a energy transporter.
its energy density is higher than modern day batteries which means its a more efficient form of energy to propel our cars. if we can produce the hydrogen cheaply in the 1st place.

and sceptic. enrgy consumption has gone up by many magnitudes in just the last few decades unless you have a source that says other wise. but i wont hold my breath :-X

Ive just given you an example of how we use more electricity, and it alters the requirements for wiring a house

Did you not read that line??

I5 years or so since it was advised to have two ring mains one for upstairs, one for down....

Its hardly the stuff of Conspiracy to realise that the average home uses far more juice than it did in even the recent past

so where does the electricity used for the electrolysis come from? im can only go from your source which clearly says they are using nuclear power stations to create electricity for electrolysis. so in you world what produces the electricity? and why not just use the electricity from that. why produce hydrogen because i have just shown you how you lose energy in the conversion. you realy need to think your next answer through a but because you sounding all kinds of crazy right now

I'll take a wild guess (and a fervant hope) you are not an electrician ?

Its not the "house" that uses the electricity its the multiple gadgets within it, just think how many electrical items a typical house has that it didnt have even ten years ago...

lol you have no real answer what a surprise. but in the absence of a answer from you we will continue.

why do they produce hydrogen with the electricity you dont know how they produce?

awww dont be upset sceptic this was going to happen eventually. you being wrong is like death and taxes. a certainty in life.

so we can take from you cop out answers that you are indeed wrong. thank you pleasure doing business with you.
if you want to try and prove you are right then answer my questioner properly.
untill then all we can take from this is that your are wrong.

Its obvious we do use more electric, you only need to add up the Kw rating of things in your own bedsit to work that one out

yes we use more gadgets , but they are way more efficient nowadays...i can now light my whole house using the same wattage as it used to take to light 1 bulb

Lighting isnt really the issue is it - Though if you can light a whole house on 100W its either a very small house or rather dark in the corners

can we put this to rest now. fact we use ever more electricty than before and will contiue to do so for the forseable future.

what's a "ring?"

You are using world wide energy consumption Thaggy. This includes industry and all of the rest.
I'm talking about normal household usage.
So you're saying that industry and the rest don't count?  And don't forget that as the population increases, there are more and more "normal households" that need energy.

My stance was on households using less energy.
I agree, it can appear that we use more but technology has made appliances 50/60/70/80 % more efficient in the home, so even with more gadgets, we don't use them all at once and also, a large proportion of people are scoffing their meals at Macdonalds etc these days and many don't even know their way round a proper kitchen.
That's all I was getting at.
I was saying that we have built many more power stations and can easily keep up demand, which isn't a problem.
The problem is when demand falls...power stations needs to dump electricity. (waste it) because they cannot overload the system and cannot just turn it down like a simmering pan on the stove.

Where do you get this info?  Do you just make it up?

no its not, they can alter the amount to suit demand.....thats what the Hydro Power station in North Wales is used for..... peak tea time demand


Its interesting that when you talk about something I really do know a lot about, how stupid your reasoning really appears :D

No I don't just make it up.
Excess electricity from power plants is hard to control. There is only so much that can be stored, so it has to be dumped.


During the day, it's not a problem but during the night when people are relaxing or asleep, the energy is still produced at full pelt,
I don't suppose you'd mind sharing your source for this info would you?

Nuclear power plants aren't secretly using hydrogen fuel. Diatomic hydrogen isn't common in nature and they'd need to separate it from water using electrolysis, which is itself an energy-intensive process. Hydrogen doesn't provide 100% efficiency; in fact it's likely to be less efficient than nuclear on power plant-level scales.

Want proof that nuclear power plants are what they claim to be? Grab a Geiger counter and go sunbathing in Chernobyl. Or pick up a tenth-grade chemistry textbook.
