    • Yes, there is a lot of it. Hydrogen is in water, however the problem with fueling cars on hydrogen is that, although there is a lot of hydrogen, you need to separate it from the oxygen in water. It takes electricity to do this. And just think, with hundreds of millions of vehicles over the world to fuel, it will take massive amounts of electricity to obtain our hydrogen from water. And we are still not really that green when it comes to producing electricity.
    • Not really. There is none available as H2. There is a lot in other compounds, but it is fairly costly and dangerous to remove and handle it. That has been the biggest problem with using it as an alternative fuel directly.
    • Yeah, it%26#039;s everywhere. The problem is, pairs of those H atoms are locked onto an atom of oxygen, and getting them off requires a lot of fancy equipment and a fair amount of energy input.
    • There is an unimaginable quantity in the sun -- a little tough to get at, however.
    • yes it is you can make it using a process call electrolysis using
      water and metals
    • it%26#039;s the most abundant element in the universe.
