"This is like saying something is stupid but let's do it anyway 'cause it
makes us feel like we are doing something good. It takes oil to cram the
hydrogen in the bottle and it takes oil to process it to begin with and that
goes for just about all of the "new ideas". It even takes more oil to
process and deliver than it replaces. More than zero gain, it is backwards.
It is just that no one wants to admit or face it. Ostrichisms -- Bill --"
Bill:
I would agree that it does not make sense from the standpoint of energy, and
that was sort of my point, too. However, we are now in the situation of having
all of our eggs in one basket and there are good reasons not to remain in that
situation. Do we ignore the problem and continue to use gasoline, thus making
us more and more dependent on the sources of the same and probably continuing
to drive up the price, or can we diversify our energy sources in such a way as
to preserve the supply of gasoline for a longer period of time and, perhaps,
even have a positive effect on the environment? All I am saying is that all
the possibilities should be investigated, thus allowing us some flexibility in
our choices rather than just continuing on the path we are on while ignoring
reality. I don't think that BMW and GM and the rest are entirely stupid, so
they must envision a scenario in which H2 can play a role. Let's give a little
credit for their willingness to try the experiment.
