If they were to analyze rather than demonize sollid fuels, they might be amazed to discover that a very considerable fraction of the hydrogen combusted today resides in it , yet no one seem s to be trying to amelirate CO2 emisssions by policies that aim ant coal quality rather than quantity- teragrams of CO2 emission might thereby be avoided without reducing thermal energy production- I give some details at ' http://adamant.typepad.com/seitz/2006/08/black_hydrogen.html It is remarkable that both Gore and the NRDC persist in casually equating coal with carbon despite the variabiiity of its hydrogen content.
