Fuel cells look good right now, but how do you know someone's not working on something even better right now? We never learn. I will predict right now that this new "program" will do nothing help us become less dependant on oil and most likely will slow progress down. It will be a total waste of taxpayer dollars. Bookmark this for future reference. Well, the Bush administration has announced plans to scrap the Clinton plan and push to develop new cars using hydrogen fuel-cell technology, instead.

I have always thought it would be a good idea to distill hydrogen from sea water using nuclear power. * * *

well tigie-loony has the technology and process comprehension of a dead mushroom and as informed say there may or may not be any real negative impact on the climate by increases of CO2. As to the retards plan AKA the kyoto treaty, it would have no effect upon the amount of CO2 generated in any meaningful way and is just a plan of the third world welfare states (I think that now include Europe) to extort money from the USA. As to fuel cells. Well they can reduce air pollution in large cities as we all know the fuel creates only water as a byproduct. But how do we get the fuel, hydrogen. Currently the plan is to extract it from natural gas. The US has lots of natural gas. Now what remains from natural gas when you remove the hydrogen, hmmmm carbon, now carbon is used to make co2. Anyway, whenever you convert what ever you loose a lot of energy. So a local city may have better air but at what real cost in energy and CO2 vs doing it the old way. One can use nuke energy but electrolosis also is a conversion and energy is lost. Having clear air to breathe is a good goal. Worrying about CO2 is simply not useful. Hey with CO2, if it creates lot's of global warming and Anwr becomes a tropical paradise. The folks can move there as it's all so pristine. Hell we can even grow a forest their and increase the wildlife 100,000 fold. Yes that's right we can export all the dems to anwr to enjoy what they saved. But I want the bug repellant franchise. tom watson tosiwmee
