Yup, they want to distill the hydrogen out of natural gas, propane, etc. Which
is just plain silly, as you'd probably end up with at least as much 'emission' as just burning the stuff, and lose energy in the transformation. (sigh)
I pointed this out a number of places (had charts and everything) when they started putting ethanol in the gasoline, but everyone was too caught up in Doing Something to be bothered with the piddlin' detail that the Something they were Doing was in fact counter-productive: until the reduction in emissions
exceeds the decrease in efficiency, you get more pollution per mile even though it's less pollution per gallon. Last time I checked, work didn't move closer to home just 'cause it took more fuel to get there. It's the same sort of short-sightedness a lot of the more vocal (and less thoughtful) 'environmental activists' fall into.
