Hydrogen gas is an unlimited source of energy?
KnottedBrain asked:
The byproduct of hydrogen is water, right? Water is H2O and can be processed again to make hydrogen gas, can’t it? I guess this follows the law of conservation of energy, except with hydrogen it’s simpler?

Everything can be reused–even fossil fuels–it just takes millions of years to do so.
The futuristic way of energy is antimatter, which is pure energy.

No process is 100% efficient, so even if it were as simple as you were stating it, it wouldn’t last forever. I assume you’re referring to hydrogen powered cars as your point to this question. At this point in time (I believe) it takes more energy (electricity, gasoline, etc) to get the hydrogen from the water, than the gasoline needed to power an automobile for the same amount of time as the produced hydrogen.
