  • Hydrogenics - Near Term Profitability And Huge Upside [View instapost]
    I don't think so at all Gabriel.F, I hope to be done my extensive article by tomorrow, I think this one will prove to be a billion dollar company.

  • With Plenty Of Cash, Hydrogenics Is A Buy [View article]
    Hi Jimidean, I'm sorry I'm not done the article yet, it's big and it's taking a while but I am doing it as we speak, it is just taking a while. Hang in there!

  • MannKind's Afrezza Likely To Easily Gain Approval [View article]
    It is speculative Pete, but there is good reason to forecast success.

    Thank you elchert, Hydrogenics needs more PR people instead of relying on partners to spread the word! Guess they are busy and running lean.

    "Electrochaea is part of a consortium led by Hydrogenics Europe N.V., a leading electrolyzer manufacturer based in Oevel, Belgium. Other members include CNG Services Ltd, a leading engineering firm for gas-to-grid projects in the UK, and National Grid, the UK's main gas and power grid operator."

  • Think twice before investing alongside the big names set to speak at tomorrow's Ira Sohn conference. Following the top tips of last year's speakers would have produced a gain of 19%, less than the 22% profit from investing in a passive index fund, according to an FT analysis.  [View news story]
    Those are big names, you'll be speaking soon enough. Would you weigh in on the Yen:

    Again, I'm not anti-nuke per se, but it seems some people got potentially deadly exposure from Fukushima:

    "Tests on workers suspected of having high whole-body internal doses found 178 individuals whose thyroid glands displayed doses greater than 100 millisieverts, the generally accepted threshold for a raised risk of thyroid cancer."

  • James McIlree: These Companies Could Transform Power Production [View article]
    Here's a link:

    "3. WHAT IS HYDROGEN-ENRICHED NATURAL GAS?
    Hydrogen-enriched natural gas, or HENG, is a mixture of hydrogen and natural gas. In theory, the two can
    be mixed in any proportion, but typically, HENG in the range of 10 per cent to 20 per cent hydrogen by
    volume represents the most promising near-term option. At these concentrations, HENG is generally
    compatible with existing natural gas transmission and distribution infrastructure, as well as end-use
    equipment. Moreover, codes and standards in many jurisdictions treat HENG with less than 20 per cent
    hydrogen as natural gas, which will facilitate its initial deployment into gas networks. Also, at these levels
    HENG offers important emissions and potential efficiency benefits, compared with natural gas.
    4. BENEFITS
    In broad terms, HENG enables the initial deployment of hydrogen in the energy system without the need
    for expensive infrastructure investments. This resolves the classic “chicken and egg” problem of hydrogen
    production and the dedicated storage, transmission and other equipment needed to use it directly as a
    fuel.The use of HENG enhances combustion and reduces CO2 emission from natural gas. It also leads to
    lower emissions of pollutants such as nitrogen oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) and unburned
    methane and other hydrocarbons. HENG can also improve the fuel efficiency of gas-fired combustion in
    boilers, engines and turbines, using existing natural gas delivery infrastructure and end-use equipment.
    • HENG decreases the carbon intensity of natural gas. For every tonne of carbon removed before
    combustion, approximately 3.7 tonnes of CO2 are prevented when HENG is burned.2
    • HENG increases the efficiency of natural gas conversion into useful energy. Adding even small amounts of
    hydrogen leads to more complete combustion of the fuel, including CO, methane and other hydrocarbons
    in the gas stream.This can improve engine efficiency and lower emissions of harmful pollutants.
    • HENG helps avoid the formation of thermal NOx, because it allows stable combustion at leaner gas
    mixtures to achieve lower flame temperatures than is possible with conventional natural gas....we have been relying on hydrogen to power economic development
    for over 150 years, twice as long as electricity and four times as long as natural gas. Reintroducing
    hydrogen into the natural gas grid as HENG is actually going “back to the future.”
    Before the development of natural gas supplies and transmission systems, during the 1940s and 1950s,
    virtually all gaseous fuel and lighting gas used in North America, the U.K., Europe, and throughout the
    world was manufactured from coal. Originally a by-product of the coking process, manufactured gas was
    extensively exploited in the nineteeth and early twentieth centuries, initially for lighting, and then for
    cooking and heating. Commonly referred to as “town gas” or “illuminating gas,” it was a mixture of
    hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane, with small amounts of carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Depending
    on the gasification process, hydrogen concentrations ranged from 10 per cent to 50 per cent."

    It will feed on itself, becoming more feasible (affordable and convenient) as it grows, all the companies going in (and Shell too) makes it safe for everyone. It will not happen over night I agree, but 2015 is a target year for production for many, and Hyundai has already started mass production:

    The infrastructure is there in places for buses and large vehicles, not much in the US outside of Califorinia yet.

    From the US gov't:

    http://1.usa.gov/18nBflC

    "Studies of populations exposed to radioactive fallout also point to
    increased cancer risk as the primary late
    health effect of exposure. As studies of
    biological samples (including bone, thyroid glands and other tissues) have been
    undertaken, it has become increasingly
    clear that specific radionuclides in fallout
    are implicated in fallout-related cancers
    and other late effects."
