On the contrary, hydrogen is the energy source provided
by
virtually all the fuels in current use--petroleum, methane,
wood, cow dung, coal. A "fuel" (except uranium)
is nothing
but a way of storing and releasing solar energy in the form
of its hydrogen atoms.
...Shane Mage sees hydrogen as a way to "reconfigure our vehicle fleet." Why not think a little about getting rid of the need for "our vehicle fleet"?...
I thought about it a little, but could come up with no way
to get pigs to fly. Of course if our only means of
transportation were horseback and shank's mare we
might have enough horse manure to do without any
other source of hydrogen -:)
