In the route of energy transfer, some energy will disperse as heat. Entropy is a measure of disarray. The course of energy sustains order and life. Entropy is successful when organisms stop taking in energy and die (Laws of Thermodynamics, 2010).
Many experts feel that Hydrogen is the ideal fuel known to man at this time. It is a fuel source that has no chance of being depleted until the Sun stops producing it. There isn't much chance of the Sun stopping production either. The only result of hydrogen combustion is water. Because one of the ways hydrogen can be produced is by separating it from the oxygen atom in a water molecule, the process lends itself to recycling within a closed system. There are a few negatives that surround the use of Hydrogen. First, it is a very dangerous explosive. It is also very costly to produce and most procedures that are used to produce it today are not very efficient. When handled properly, hydrogen is perfectly safe (Hydrogen: The Never Ending Fuel Source, n.d.).
With the invention of more efficient means of production, the cost of manufacturing and storing hydrogen will decrease and it will become...
It will become a part of everyday use. Unfortunately, it probably won't become main stream for well over 50 years, possibly not even until the 22nd century. The Sun will be around for a long time, and because of this we should take advantage of all it gives us (Hydrogen: The Never Ending Fuel Source, n.d.). The positive consequences of using Hydrogen as an alternative energy source far outweigh any negatives that are involved. This is an abundant resource that we need to tap into in order to help lessen our dependency on fossil fuels.
