    I think that hydrogen would just be so much more sustainable than fossil fuels

    In the future I hope to own a hydrogen car for everyday necessities, then I can save up money and don’t have to spend on gas.

    “Why didn’t you quit?” Somebody asked. Roger Billings then said, “I wasn’t that smart. I was like a caveman screaming, “HYDROGEN, HYDROGEN!” He’s got passion and soul. We should be proud of Dr. RB for not giving up and even insisting that hydrogen works, still works, well done.

    Hydrogen fuel has a high energy density, ignoring the weight of the storage tank. It’s better than gas and much better than batteries. Creating the hydrogen gas is akin to inefficiently charging high capacity batteries.

    This is the most interesting Science Live episode I’ve seen yet! Hydrogen is extraordinary! I can’t believe there are so many different sources of it, and that we’ve been living on top of gold hydrogen that has been regenerating right below our feet.
    Dr. Billings truly broke barriers in the science world. The story about the origin of his hydrogen engine made me believe that I can break barriers too. Sometimes what we think is impossible is really just undiscovered.
