I'm puzzled. Producing the hydrogen requires energy, which can only come from the usual sources--fossil fuels, nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, waves, thermopiles, hydroelectric,.....anything else? Of these, only fossil fuels and nuclear are currently competitive economically and capable of heavy duty. Yvan doesn't like nuclear, so where is the energy coming from to replace oil and produce his hydrogen?
