No I do not think I am missing the point. If you have the hydrogen it could be just as readily viable as oil... .. Now is that wrong ? I think not. Getting it is another matter. Sounds like a game of semantics to me. Hydrogen is not a viable source of energy because we simply do not have enough readily available and to get it we consume an equal amount of energy. Will remaining oil become simply storage of energy once depleted... ? Is this just a classification game ? I dunno.

You have to get more out of it than you put into it. Sounds like oilsands used to be considered. Not saying it will ever happen.. put it in the realm of Methane hydrates maybe.

I have it on good authority though that the sun considers itself the ultimate source of energy for our solar system..

biodiesel They use that up here in the summer but apparently not in the winter. I've not investigated why... but up here that would be a problem, or in Minnesota I guess too :O) Have a good link ? That interests me.

Thanks
