YES!
Got to love the libs, every solution they have only makes the problems worse, yet it never stops them.
It isn’t hydrogen fusion, but it might be entertaining trying to build hydrogen farms inside volcanoes.
Liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent.
Keep an eye out for Penn and Teller. They should be coming around with a petition demanding the banning of dihydrogen monoxide emissions from new energy technologies in order to save the environment any day now.
Don’t go bringing physics into this - next thing you know stoichiometry and meteorology are going to make an appearance and render your water vapor argument null and void.

“Hydrogen can be easily converted to electrical and mechanical energy without any production of carbon dioxide,”
No it just produces water vapor.... Which is the stronger ‘greenhouse agent’ again?
Yes A team of highly motivated scientist have looked into it and here is the issue:
1) Another Pulitzer for Al gore due to his article an inconvenient gas..
2) A grammy for the audio release of the afore mentioned book/report
3) An oscar for the series
4) a Golden globe for the TV series
5) 8 more concerts will be held to raise awareness
6) 3 acts of congress (2 will be non binding) againt ‘big-hydrogen’
Details.....Why bother with them?
Actually, since water vapor comes and goes fairly readily by condensation and precipitation, my guess is, the water vapor content of the atmosphere on a global scale would remain relatively constant. However, on a local level, the effect would be to raise temperatures, like in a city around a major highway.
But you do raise a good point since the water vapor effect is a major player that dwarfs CO2, and so it is ignored simply because it would illustrate just how small the CO2 effect is (let alone the relatively small human portion of the CO2 effect).
Hydrogen economy? That’s probably a long ways off.
Interesting article in the current “Skeptic” magazine.
Not available online, and I read it 2 months ago, but basically it said that it takes more energy to produce it than Hydrogen provides, and that the vehicle to transport it is something like 10,000 lbs, and can carry 1,000 lbs of Hydrogen. That’s not to say that the technology isn’t GOING to be developed, but it may be a while.

I can see some future Presidential candidate bemoaning our addiction to bacteria farts.
Thanks for the ping. This looks fascinating.
Yup, good ol’H2O vapor. We’ll have streets that clean themselves. Thats a great side effect that soon start cleansing the streets with the flow of water scouring old pollutants by burning hydrogen and releasing harmless water.
