Big Hydrogen will have to come from out here not from in there, and it will be a fight. No need to look to the government on this one. The ONLY reason George gives it lipservice is because they know it’s comming. If you seriously want to help MOTHER EARTH then you have to do it without help from Uncle Sam.

Soooo… You really think Big Oil is in favor of hydrogen, because that is who is making money now, not Big Hydrogen. I guess in the pursuit of happiness and joy we could turn over the entire economy of the entire world just to save the planet. Now I know how these idiots keep getting elected.

aren’t they also de-regulating the emmissions standards as part of his new plan? great… gas is a little more expensive, so the answer is to speed up global warming and fuck up the enviroment even more.

i agree.. ethanol is not the best idea because it will only give another reason for corporations to rape the earth for profit. hydrogen and electric cars seem better.

It only takes 1.29 volts of D.C. current electricity to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen. A flashlight battery will do the stunt and even have 2.1 volts to spare.

Ethanol is also a bad idea because even if the EROEI was favorable (which it probably isn’t) you essentially run into the problem of having to decide what to use growing land for: food or oil. In growing world of 6+ billion which already faces food shortages (albiet mostly due to distribution) and energy shortages (with demand growing), it doesn’t seem to be much of a win-win proposition at all.

Hydrogen really is the answer. Easily produced, Will burn in the engines we have on the road right now, only by-produce is PURE WATER.

The whole idea of ethanol is entirely flawed. In order to produce corn, we need a massive amount of fossil energy to produce nitrogen, herbicides, and tractor fuel. The corn then has to be converted to ethanol, again at great energetic cost. The bottom line is that it takes energy to produce energy, and we only get a little more out than we put in…and it isn’t even cost effective without huge subsidies all along the line!

The Bush family is not affected by approval ratings. The only numbers that affect the Bush family are the price per share of their oil stocks. The ultimate slap in the face to the American collective intelligence is having an oil prince (Bush) tell us how hydrogen is what we need. He knows it is not feasible, hopes to satisfy a large portion of an apathetic populus, and have a good laugh at how futile our atempts to hold Republicans responsible for this mess really are. Wag the dog, indeed!

The price of gas is not the issue that will save the Democrats. The Strategic Reserve can EASILY drop the price of oil for election time. George has stopped the inflow to the Reserve today, the price will go down, temperarily, and ease some of the flak that’s flying now. He’s just as willing and able to use that for the election. He SURE DOESN’T talk about OSAMA, or wants to.
