Interesting...My suspicions about the cult of higher education have been confirmed.

LOL! I wouldn't know an evolute from a genetic if it jumped up and bit me on the arse!

My comment was shamelessly plagiarised from a well known physisist's reply to a reporter. Sorry, just my lame attempt at humor, nothing personal.

It puzzles me when people attack someone who questions dogma like a religious zealot attacks a blasphemer.

Science, like mechanics, should be fun. I believe in can do the same way you believe in impossible.

Acadamia proved that a controlled nuclear reaction was impossible to achieve. A couple of guys in Chicago showed that all you have to do is stack some bricks of uranium close together. Their violation of the law of thermodynamics gave us nuclear power!

My suspicions about the cult of ignorance have been confirmed.

. I believe in can do the same way you believe in impossible.

Your ignorance of the laws of thermodynamics notwithstanding, they exist and all physical processes are subject to them. This isn't a matter of opinion. It isn't subject to polls. You can't take a vote and decide to suspend reality for H2 (or for ethanol.) There aren't any exceptions. The fact remains that taking H2 containing fossil fuel and extracting the H2 costs a significant fraction of the available energy in the fossil fuel to start with.

However, don't let me rain on your parade. You can take every cent you have (after the government finishes plundering you of course) and invest it in schemes to make H2 as a motor fuel. If you're right, you'll be richer than Bill Gates. Go for it. I wish you luck.
