CO2 emissions are a silly reason to build a massive and expensive hydrogen infrastructure.

In the longer term, something other than gasoline will have to provide transportation energy. Natural gas can substitute for gasoline better than exotic fuels like hydrogen, but natural gas supplies won't last a lot longer than oil supplies, either.

Eventually, better chemical battery technology will have to appear for electric cars, or, perhaps, hydrogen fuel might be used to power cars. Or, it could be that people of the future will have to make do with less good vehicles than the ones we've got.

Natural gas is SH!T for fuel economy whether in buses or half-ton trucks. It's also not really as "clean" as has been sold to the public consciousness.

Natural gas, however, *can* be a source for hydrogen. So could coal, wind power, water power, solar power, biofuels, and so forth. Because it's elemental, abundant it is a good common denominator "fuel" because the potential sources are so varied and the more sources possible, the larger the fuel capacity we will have to use long-term. No more being held hostage by OPEN.

Less good is bad.

Hey Timm, there is zero evidence that we are, or ever will, "run out of oil."

Face reality, don't support socialism.
