And as for hydrogen: how do you make hydrogen? By using energy to first get the hydrogen? I'm not familiar with the process. I know you can make hydrogen from water, by dissecting water into pieces through electrolysis. But this costs you energy - the electricity that it takes to make hydrogen may be more than what you are in fact getting OUT of the hydrogen that you produce. I'm not sure though. Then again, it does cost us money to run oil rigs and etc. - and we do get more oil out of the ground than it costs us to retrieve the oil. _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
