Hydrogenmania

A thought

Just this morning, in the usually fairly accurate Atlantic magazine, I read this article that reduces to: "How hydrogen will save the 21st century." Not a word about where all the hydrogen will come from, except the Airheadism: "perhaps we can extract it from water." Marie Antoinette would approve...

Might as well say: "The poor are so short of cash, so why don't they extract credit cards from water?"

Might as well say: "If the US can't afford dollar bills to pay for oil, why don't they just use five-dollar bills?"

W, too, got this completely wrong in his State of the Union address. I can forgive such silliness in Moron W from Planet Petro. But from the Atlantic's energy writer responsible for explaining it to millions, it's hard to forgive such silliness, and the sooner the US renounces SUV Denial Syndrome and stops mewling for Presto-Magic energy, the sooner it may find an actual solution or two.

Attention W: When the bread ran out, there was no cake ready. And Marie lost her lovely head.
