Wow Lather, I have a lot of looking up to do to answer your questions. I can answer one right away however. Hydrogenwasan impractical fuel because, mainly because of the storage problem. Energy Conversion Devices (ENER, my biggest holding) has a hydride storage tank that will safely and efficiently hold more hydrogen in a given volume than liquid hydrogen. Texaco has bought 20% of ENER. Shell, British Petroleum and other big oils are pursuing hydrogen as an alternative fuel. The energy contained in the carbon is used in the conversion to hydrogen. Methane (natural gas) is one of the most efficient to convert. It has 4 hydrogens, and one carbon. What is attractive about converting the methane, is that the CO2 can be easily converted into a solid and buried instead of releasing it into the atmosphere if need be. There are also many uses for the CO2. One use is to drive more oil out of oil wells. I will try to find the data on power plant to electric car efficiencies. Del
