As for hydrogen (regardless of application or miracle dependent scheme),
it, like solar, looks pretty much like a non-starter sans some

Hydrogen isn't a primary source of energy.

No kidding?

It's merely a way to store energy.

No ****?

Hydrogen can be obtained from fossil fuels

Really?

(natural gas is currently the cheapest source) or by electrolysis of water
(which requires cheap, abundant electricity).

Well, how about if we burn the hydrogen (or natural gas) to boil water to
make steam to turn turbines to drive generators to make the electricity?

Using natural gas as a feed stock is counterproductive from a climate
perspective because it produces CO2.

Well, yeah, there's that.....and the fact that, unlike you, cows probably
think their own farts taste like ****.

Electrolosis is the way to go -- producing nothing but hydrogen and
oxygen,

It can also remove those unsightly hairs growing out of your ears and nose
and eye sockets.

but you need to get the electricity from somewhere.

Hm.....hey!....how about if we burn all that unsightly hair we just
harvested from your eye sockets to make steam to turn turbines to drive
generators to make electricity?

Fortunately, cheap and abundant electricity from a new solar technology
looks promising:

O.k., hold your breath......call me when it's ready.

Of course, electricity can also be produced with no CO2 emissions using
nuclear power.

Well.....gosh.....why didn't WE think of that?!

Windmills on Lake Erie.

Yes, seriously, it's every bit as real as....oh....Fawn Lake, I
guess.....unless they burned it in the last couple of weeks and nobody told
me.

Give me a frigging break.

Yeah, you could probably use a break from frigging. Hey! I've got it!
Maybe you could rent a boyfriend from one of those lovely watering holes in
Stanley you've told us so much about!

Maybe we could wire up millions of hamster-wheel generators. Ever think of
that?

Um......o.k., I give up. Why would you want to put hamster wheels in Lake
Erie?

Moron.

guess where my hands are.
