"I don't understand hydrogen fuel, I will admit. So I don't know anything about the "energy in, energy out, equation"

That's why da Rat has a Nest

People in the energy world have formalized this measure of “energy return on energy invested” with an acronym, EROEI, made up of the first letter of each word in the phrase. So the EROEI of the gas made from the oil squirting out of the ground in our front yard is 125:1.

EROEI turns out to be one of the most important measurements in the history of humanity.
===========================

Biodiesel- 3:1
Coal- 1:1 to 10:1
Ethanol- 1.2:1
Natural Gas- 1:1 to 10:1
Hydropower- 10:1
HYDROGEN- 0.5:1
