The earth is warming, but it's because of solar conditions. Hydrogen takes more energy to produce than it can supply from its combustion. The same applies to ethanol. Methanol is OK if you work on your car three hours for every half hour in operation.

Drilling for more oil and exploiting oil shales while we ACTIVELY AND CONSISTENTLY develop making gasoline from domestic coal is our only real hope for energy independence during the next 75 years, barring devastation from war or economic crisis.

"Hydrogen takes more energy to produce than it can supply from its combustion."

True. That's why you use fuel cells instead.

"The same applies to ethanol."

Not true. Your information is out of date.

"Methanol is OK if you work on your car three hours for every half hour in operation."

Not true. WHERE do you come up with this stuff???
