I'm sure the FCV has negligible _tailpipe_ emissions compared with one that runs on CNG or LNG. But not only are both processes splitting hydrogen from carbon...I'm pretty sure you get many more miles (microns?) per hydrogen atom with CNG and LNG than you do with a fool cell. Unless the carbon from the methane is being sequestered as part of the refining process, the fool cell is an environmental disaster. But, if it _is_ being sequestered...damn, that's an awful lot more energy! And again a catastrophic disaster compared with a BEV charged with rooftop solar panels. b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
