font-family:Arial'>Can anyone come up with some good suggestions for viable, small
scale, off the grid production of H2 to power individual home fuel cells,
provide cooking and heating and fuel for H2 powered vehicles? The
property for this project is in the town of <st1:City w:st="on">Forestburg</st1:City>,
NY, 85 miles from NYC and totals 1700 acres with the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Neversink</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">River</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>
running through it. Part of the property will have full utilities,
electric and phone, to ensure the commercial success of the project. The
first phase of the project is already underway with the construction of 5 homes
from <a href="http://www.ecocontempo.com/">www.ecocontempo.com</a> One
of these homes will be a model and will be totally off the grid, yet be as “comfortable”
as the other 4, if not more so, and be much more fun to live in with everything
contemporary technology has to offer.. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The H2 solution would have to use off the shelf commercially
available technology and be powered by solar, wind and hydro-electric, many of
the homes will be powered this way as well. The H2 produced would need to
be bottled in existing H2 transport tanks from an H2 production facility remotely
located on the 1700 acres. This facility could be placed on the river
running through the property that would provide electric and water for the H2 production.
One question is how much electric power is needed to make the H2 in order to
fuel 1 utility pick up truck (for bottled H2 transport), one H2 powered car and
supply H2 for at least 1000 watts of continuous electric generation for 1 house
and meet the heating and cooking needs of a well insulated 1400 sqft structure
