Hydrogen Fuel

Will such a plant produce enough hydrogen to run a small town? A neighborhood? A single house? A car? A lawnmower? A camp stove?

Apparently ancient civilizations in South America were able to concentrate sunlight into beams hot enough to cut blocks of stone to a mirror finish.

I don't know what that has to do with this, exactly, but people have always been very good imagining solutions to engineering problems.

It demonstrates how far we have fallen behind our ancestors - ethically.

Clearly the gods are no longer with us.
