Without change there is no innovation, creativity, or incentive for improvement. Those who initiate change will have a better opportunity to manage the change that is inevitable.

  1. They're making H2 as an intermediate?? Why not just stop there and save all the energy of adding CO2? It's all surface level CO2 being recycled, so you're not really helping ambient levels any. Unless you're going to take your "blue crude / e-diesel" and pump it back INTO the ground. Just sayin'.

  2. ... or even better yet... buy an electric car and bypass the H2O -> H2 + O2 energy-hog, too.
