I don't think highly of the guy at all, but even a muddled thinker like Joe Romm understood as much, having written The Hype About Hydrogen in 2003 flying in the face of his fellow fool and sometime collaborator Amory Lovins, who was promising hydrogen HYPErcars would be in show rooms within a year or two around the same time.

It's funny how they both focused on hype.

Here we are, two decades later. Hydrogen is still made from fossil fuels with exergy destruction, and people are still trying to say that the three card Monty shell game is "green."

What's annoying is that this late in the game there seems to be some confusion as to whether any of this ersatz "debate" has anything to do with the accelerating collapse of the planetary atmosphere.

It doesn't.
