Don, I suspect that he is simply one of those non-technically educated
people who was wonderful dreams, but can't grasp the fact that the
production of hydrogen requires more energy than its use liberates, and
that this translates to it using up more conventionally produced energy
than it will ever return, clean burning or not.
He also doesn't seem to grasp the fundamental fact that hydrogen fueled
vehicles simply transfer pollution from the point of use to the
location of the fuel's manufacture.
This is not an unusual misconception among scientifically illerates who
have place the entirety of their educational focus on the liberal arts
including politics, sad as that my seem.

Harry, politics aside, it's sad there are plenty of scientists who will
promote hydrogen energy storage because they make their living from the
promise of a hydrogen economy. The politics only make it worse! The
'hydrogen economy' has clearly been used as a diversionary tactic to allow
automobile manufacturers to continue producing vehicles that couldn't meet
the clean air and fuel efficiency objectives that had been mandated while we
wait for hydrogen to solve the problems 20 years from now.
There are scientists and engineers that know the truth and speak propaganda
because it's their job and politicians who don't know any better or say what
people want to hear even if they DO know better. Then there are people who
really MUST know better and don't seem to get anything from their love of
hydrogen propaganda and spew the propaganda with passion! Why is that? I
wish I could talk to 'H2-PV' face to face just to determine whether or not
he really believes what he writes and WHY he writes it!
It doesn't help that a U.S. Government agency big as the DOE is spearheading
the propaganda machine. Think anyone would be interested in a cult movie in
the fashion of 'Roger and Me' only going after Secretary Bodman to ask him
the tough questions about the 'Roadmap to a Hydrogen Economy'?
