O.K. wise guy, to produce hydrogen gas: your method requires Aluminum and Hydrochloric acid; Another method requires Methane, and water(steam).

Which method do you think Iraq would be using to make hydrogen?

Once again, the method you suggest:
2Al(s) + 6HCl(aq) -> 2AlCl3(aq) + 3H2(g)

or this one:

1. CH4(g) + H20(steam) -> 3H2(g) + CO
2. CO + H2O -> H2 + CO2

Which materials are more abundant in Iraq: Aluminum and Hydrochloric Acid, or Methane and water?
