A company at the end of my street is asking the city of Chino to approve a Hydrogen production and fueling station for them. The location is about 950 feet from my home, is this something bad or is it O.K. to live next door to a hydrogen plant.

I'd worry more about the "possible" increased traffic patterns near you as a result of this. Could hurt your property value.

 

Plus the possible degredation of property value of a home in close proximity to a 'fueling station.'

 

Hydrogen is great in theory but (right now) we use natural gas to produce it... which pollutes the earth.

"The production of hydrogen from natural gas is an integral part of the strategy to introduce hydrogen into the transportation and utility energy sectors, by reducing the cost of conventional and developing innovative hydrogen production processes that rely on cheap fossil feedstocks. Today, nearly all hydrogen production is based on fossil raw materials. Worldwide, 48% of hydrogen is produced from natural gas, 30% from oil (mostly consumed in refineries), 18% from coal, and the remaining (4%) via water electrolysis."

I've only read a few things about it, if I were you I'd see if it would cause any pollution problems since it would be so close. The best hydrogen engine ever produced (probably) has been the bmw v10 that made over 400 horses and the only thing that came out the tail pipe was water. We just need a better way to produce it.

 

Hey Jerry,

You are probably not old enough to remember something called the Hindenburg (spelling?). Maybe you read something about it?

 

Thats bureaucrats for you.
Try to put a conventional gas station in the same location. GFL.

I would be worried about leaks, explosion, and reduced property values as the same folks that tout this stuff are the last to want to live near it.

 

Where i live, i wish all we had was a hydrogen production plant...we got a water treatment facility (smells great when the wind blows right). Not to mention Arco, BP, and a dozen other refineries that like to blow up once every other year

 

You might want to read up a little more on it, find out what really caused it.

 

You don't want to live near any of that stuff. Ya never know really what will happen so why risk it.

Fairchild in San Jose leaked some toxins into the ground for years undetected and caused birth defects.

Los Alamos, New Mexico just blew up completely.

Although your car is fast enough to get the heII out of there if anything did go wrong.

 

If you are the around the age I think you are, those items were there long before you.
Norco is nice too.
Dairy Valley became Cerritos and La Palma. the cows left but the flies stayed.

Jerry, maybe you could ask the city for a permit to build a fireworks factory 900 feet from your house.

 

Since I am quite young and not nearly old enough to have been around at that time, and only having read about it, I do believe the cause of it was something called "hydrogen."

 

Update, I now will have 99,000 scf of hydrogen down the street.
Anyone have a blimp thats low on gas

Jerry

 

Actually no, it was something called "thermite".

 

Jerry,

I guess you are okay as long as no one mixes a little thermite with all that hydrogen.

 

Next time I fly my dirigible I'll drop on by.

 

I guess the city must be getting $$$$ from that project

 

Time to convert the Camaro.

 

Be sure you put out that cigarette (or thermite) before you drop in for a fill-up. .
