<< Hydrogen economy which generates the hydrogen by directly or indirectly
burning
fossil fuels, either to generate electricity or to farm land for fuel crops,
is a
huge net inefficiency. You're just moving the pollution and fossil fuel use
around, not reducing it. Solar and fusion are possibilities, but either one
is
very capital-intensive and unlikely to pay for itself in a reasonable time.
Guess
what that leaves? It leaves hypotech (my portmanteau word for hypothetical
technology} that reforms fossil fuels at the point of use, then feeds _that_
to a
fuel cell. Some people claim to have it. We'll see. "Pure" H2 technology as
a
significant base for the economy just isn't in the cards--unless you palm a
few.

How about hemp oil derived fuel and products? Im sure you all have heard all
the wonderful things about it? I believe it can completely replace all
petrol chemicals as well have benefits in a wide array of other things.
Consult the book "The Emperor Wears no Clothes"
