I think POTUS has too many ties to the oil and gas industry to be objective
in
this case--hence the push for hydrogen, which will most likely be reformed from
conventional fossil fuels. (The reforming technology will most likely be
installed
in present service stations.)
In my view, we need diversity and locally controlled supplies. We need
conservation, efficiency and a different mental paradigm. We need to think
about
the rest of humanity, who long for a Western standard of living, and we should
align
our plans with them in mind as well.
I've been a hydrogen enthusiast for a very long time, but I just don't see
the
practicality of hydrogen as an energy carrier for most of the world.
