He neglected to mention that the largest contributor to green house gasses is - water vapor, the only output of an engine that burns hydrogen.

"The Hydrogen Hoax"

"Unfortunately, it’s all pure bunk. To get serious about energy policy, America needs to abandon, once and for all, the false promise of the hydrogen age."

"The idea of hydrogen as the fuel of the future dates back to Jules Verne, and by the 1930s was a staple of science fiction."

"The Trouble with Hydrogen Cars"

This guy sounds like a promoter of the oil companies or has some other problem.

The way to not be concerned about carbon production is to generate hydrogen from WATER using nuclear energy.

All energy production processes are inefficient. The moron doesn't say that the efficiency of turning oil into gasoline is probably 30-40%. Meaning, you need to use energy to produce energy. This is not rocket science. It is basic thermodynamics.

A long time ago, I fed a Bunsen Burner with H^2. Boom! We decided it needed to have a continuous ignition source. So we used a NG Bunsen Burner to provide it. It sounded like a rocket engine. You can't even see a flame. It was so hot it melted the poor little brass burner. Very high ceiling beyond the 7' flame in that HS chemistry lab. Sneaking in after classes, of course. Be careful with H^2.

You will need either stainless or tinanium steel cylinders and the same with the pistons in an engine to harness this type of explosion for energy. A liquid nitrogen refrigeration system to keep the engine block cool. And big BF Goodrich tires to get that 4WD to the next h2 station.
