Hydrogen Without Tears: Addressing the Global Energy Crisis via a Solar to Hydrogen Pathway

Solar hydrogen energy will have an enormous demand for energy harvesting from handheld devices through to boutique power using conformal panels on large buildings. The Sun's power warms the surface of the planet, delivering 5000 times the present global power needs. A solar economy is desirable, as it has plenty of room for growth and expansion. Focused sunlight can superheat water for generating electricity through a conventional steam turbine. The fossil-fuel industry resources become increasingly valued in the petrochemical industry rather than being irreversibly burned, then together with recycling, the long-term survival of these industries is secured. Every energy source has its niche, and placing each in its correct perspective is the way forward to a viable energy policy roadmap.
