What non burning gasses? ...
You're misinterpreting what I meant by non-burning. What I meant was gases don't pool while they are burning. They pool while they are not. So it isn't fair to compare hydrogen to the other gases when one is on fire and the other isn't. All gases burn upward. But your point of hydrogen rising away from people is certainly a valid one.
As far as current methane vehicles, these are primarily operated by methane producing companies, so cost figures are skewed. Safety data is also skewed because they tend to be larger, safer vehicles. Efficiency is skewed as well, as the vehicles implementing methane tend to have larger engines that can afford to carry the additional tank weight. These vehicles are also restricted in range, somewhat like electric vehicles. This renders them cost ineffective for many applications, and just nuisance for many.
Storing hydrogen at 3 atmospheres (44 PSI) would let you drive about 1 mile - tops. The estimates I've seen would require storage at 30,000 PSI to equal the energy output of gasoline in the same space. Again, unless you want to go nuclear. But most people promoting hydrogen and other alternate fuel equate nuclear power with nuclear weapons and can't form a rational argument about the issue or have an agenda along the lines of an Iowa senator.
Oh and Mr Fusion is a reference to Back to the Future.
Cold Fusion is by definition low energy nuclear fusion reactions occuring near room temperature. That is.. no massive heat explosion. Hence, no bomb. Cold fusion is the holy grail of nuclear science a low risk sustained nuclear reaction without the dangerous side effects. You could put one in every house. It is in essence what everyone pretends electrolysis can be.
Reminds me.. there's a hilarious TV commercial running now where a couple dicusses their new house they are looking for and that they'd like it to be heated by solar power "or even methane". As if methane is some sort of unusual heating fuel.
But none of this has anything to do with global warming anyway. The sun is hotter that's it. When the sun's output is lower again, all the GW freaks will claim victory and go back to waving nuclear protest banners. They need a cause to validate themselves after all....
Some years ago the discovery channel had some show (nova?) about the ocean current in the Pacific reversing from north-to-south to south-to-north. The side effect of which is Antartic ice growth, arctic ice melting and California weather changes. Not sure what ever happened with that. I dodn't hear much after that. But then there aren't billions of dollars to be made in telling the truth. California controls the media....and let the panic begin...
