Chicken-Egg Issue

The technical problems could be overcome by a displacement of hydrogen fuelling infrastructure and mass vehicle purchases under government support, and over time, the cost of fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen would be comparable or even lower than current IC engine vehicles [24, 26]. However, a hydrogen fuelling 

Investments in a hydrogen fuelling infrastructure do not substantially reduce costs of the fuel cell itself or answer the key questions of durability, reliability and robustness [25, 35].

There are three different types of chemicals essential for life carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids (DNA/RNA). The duplication of DNA requires an enzyme DNA polymerase among others. DNA polymerase is a protein. However, as outlined above, a protein is produced according to the blueprint on a DNA. So, DNA needs protein(s) for its own duplication, and proteins need DNA as the source of information on their structures. So, in the beginning, which came first, DNA (gene) or protein This is the ultimate chicken-egg issue. 

Would this study settle the issue of chicken-egg issue once and for all Well, not quite yet. There is an issue about how RNA was created first without organisms. No plausible idea has been put forward about this issue, let alone being proven. 

We have now organized a new study in which we will be able to look at that more longitudinally. So, we will be able to separate the chicken and the egg issue in terms of the desire to influence society. 

Fourth, infrastructure development may be the limiting factor. It is hard, and perhaps impossible, to see how private sector infrastructure investment will be made in the timeframe and scale needed to achieve success without clear stimulus from government. This is true even assuming hydrogen technology performance and cost goals are achieved. High risk and costly investments are needed to overcome the chicken and egg issue. 

There is also the whole chicken-and-egg issue in respect of mass production and infrastmcture, referred to above, the full dimensions of which are now apparent. It is clear that FCVs will never even approach cost-competitiveness with ICE vehicles without mass production (at least 500000). However, it is not clear how they will achieve this level of sales until the cost (and therefore price) reductions of FCVs have taken place. Nor is it clear either that such sales will take place until the requisite infrastructure to service the vehicles is in place, or who will provide the finance for the huge investment in infrastructure that would be required. Possible policies and strategies that may resolve these difficult transition problems are discussed below. 

Spiramycin is used as a growth promoter and was extracted from chicken eggs and tissues and analyzed on an aminopropyl column (A = 231 nm). A mobile phase of 85/15 acetonitrile/water eluted the analyte prior to a large series of co-extracted material. Elution of the analyte occurred at <2 min, which for a 25 cm column operated at 1 mL/min seems to place the peak painfully close to the system void volume. This could lead to quantitation issues. Also, prior clean-up of the sample (e.g., with solid phase extraction) could remove the late-eluting peaks and markedly increase sample throughput and allow for a weaker mobile phase to be used (to move the analyte away from the system void area). Spike levels of 0.1-1.0 ppm were used and a detection limit of 0.1 ppm was reported [1352]. 

For some time now, the hydrogen economy development has been on hold because of this issue no company is willing to sell (nor a customer willing to buy) a car for which there are no refueling stations, and no energy provider is willing to invest in developing a massive supply infrastructure for which there is no demand (hence, the chicken or the egg situation). 

There is an issue often called the chicken and egg dilemma, which refers to the fact that it is difficult to deploy vehicles and infrastructure simultaneously because vehicle manufacturers are reluctant to offer FCVs for sale when a robust fueling infrastmcture is not in place, but infrastmcture providers are also reluctant to build fueling stations unless the cars are available to guarantee a market for their product. 

There is probably no simple answer to the question of why unionized public sector engineers have been relatively well paid. The issues are of the chicken-and-egg variety, with many chickens and many eggs involved. Yet a number of things can be said with some confidence, and they point to some useful general conclusions about the collective organization of British engineers.
