ABSTRACT

The requirements for energy availability are very different in many parts of the globe. While the northern industrialized nations still require the most concentrated energy systems, the Third World countries in the equatorial areas could base their energy supply on widely separated and isolated systems. Hydrogen either in gas form or as a liquid will have to be transferred to the industrial areas where it will be used directly or transformed to electricity, magneto-hydrodynamic generators, locally. All this can be done without any of the environmental risks and damages prevalent in other non-renewable energy-generating procedures. Electric automobiles will use better batteries and, on long distances, switch themselves to an electric rail system on the freeways. Private cars will simply follow one another on a road with an electric rail to which they are coupled after shutting off their own batteries.
