“Greenies disapprove of carbon and fret about carbon footprints, even though they themselves are carbon-based lifeforms.”
Which is why Gates & company want to depopulate the Earth of carbon-based lifeforms.
Regarding the thread title: “Helping the Greenies Understand Fossil Fuels” is like trying to get a money to understand calculus.
Regarding hydrogen as a ICE fuel, hydrogen did not work out too well in the Hindenburg.

Let Gates & company go first to eliminate the earth of carbon based lifeforms if they are that concerned.
