If all lobbyists would be banned from contacting politicians, the world would be a much better place. I humbly suggest that advocating the banning of lobbyists as a solution to anything is patent nonsense in any language........it ain't never gonna happen.

There is a formula for energy in versus energy out . It takes more energy to make hydrogen available than you get from burning it. The only way I can think of that might have some potential on this is to have solar power do the work. As you said, it is expensive, very expensive. Hydrogen power has been forecast for as long as I can remember and it is no closer to practicality than ever. I'm convinced that is why mega-corporations like it;...

I think our future energy needs will come from a lot of different sources. One of those sources will be wind power which often produces power when it's not needed. Hydrogen production during those low-demand times would make a lot of sense. The efficiency of producing hydrogen has...

The figures cover so-called "facility greenhouse gas emissions" from power plants and heavy industries such as mining, pulp and paper, and petroleum.

Dog is eaten in parts of the world; I can't believe you would do that Cindy! Roland, hold your ears! But dogs are not vegetarians as are rabbits who eat only veggies, not requiring them to be predigested by another species first, and many dogs are euthanized in N/A. We're...
