Re: Using fuels other than crude oil for transportation use
The technicals of creating hydrogen fuel from water isn't the problem. It's the massive amounts of electricity needed during electrolysis. I've always wondered why we can't tap more into the Big Island's geothermal to generate electricity to produce and export hydrogen. We can be like the Saudi Arabia of the pacific.
Also, there is still a distribution system that is lacking.
I don't know about civilian nuke-powered transport vessels but you got my vote for modern day sailing ships. They might not be as large as the current oil burning ones, but what if you had a fleet of them and are completely unmanned with GPS navigation? You send them out along the route so that they are spaced out. The first shipments may take a while but once you get the system going, it would be like a smaller ship arriving every two/three days?
