Darryl's original comment referred to the difficulty of producing energy
without producing CO2.

We are a LONG way away from producing fuel cells that don't produce CO2
or run on hydrogen which was produced along with CO2. (most fuel cells
run on hydrogen and it is not efficient to get the H2 from water so they
usually get it from methanol or some other hydrocarbon-based compound)
