Hydrogen is a wild goose chase .
It takes a lot of power to split that molecule .

Global warming is being blamed solely on carbon , yet it takes 21 tons of carbon flown to equal the effect of 1 ton of methane , on the atmosphere .

You could power the weekend with the crappers on site , given the crowds that come .

Simple digesters , using anaerobic bacteria , not unlike a regular septic tank , with pressure valves that extract the methane(aka-natural gas) , should easily be able to power all the cars on the grid .

The gains to such a system are easy to see .
Seen as waste , manure is a problem .
Seen as a source for natural gas , it is an asset .

Rather than just buying carbon offsets , we offset the carbon placed into the atmoshere from fossil fuels .
With that , we replace dependency with independence on other nations for power in all senses .

And , best of all , we don't put that methane into the atmosphere .

Leave the damned oil where it is .
We've got all the power we need up here .

It is THE ONLY answer , period .
