Let's look at hydrogen. Hydrogen on earth comes in two forms. One that it's bounded to carbon, and the other that it's bounded to oxygen. The one that is bounded to carbon is the simplest form is methane. The one that is bounded to oxygen is water. Now, humans think that we can make hydrogen from water by splitting it. 

Now, let's look at this. Let's look at what nature has done and whether humans can replicate. Nitrogen is fixed by nature to make ammonia (NH3) via bacteria that does it at ambient conditions. We saw that humans can't replicate that. Nature has been able to fix a photon to chemical energy in photosynthesis with astounding efficiencies of more than 99.99%. Humans cannot replicate that either. 

Now, nature has fixed the hydrogen and bounded it to oxygen, but humans think, ""I'm gonna be smarter than nature. I'm gonna split this bond and get hydrogen, and then whole hydrogen economy will be powered."" I really don't think so. There is a reason why people are saying this, and we will look at it in the next reel, but that's not the answer.
