      Hydrogen was first discovered in 1766 by the English chemist Henry Cavendish. He was the first person to realize that hydrogen gas was its own substance rather than just a combination of substances. Cavendish also was the first person to describe water in the form that we know it today; H2O, which is hydrogen mixed with oxygen.

        What is even more important for today is how hydrogen attaches to hydrides then eventually used as fuel for automobiles. No fossil fuels ever again for internal combustion engines.  What happens to the middle east when this occurs? Can you guess ?
