So on a very basic level. Your burning wood and/or rubbish to turn a turbine to create power, which you then use to power a device, that creates hydrogen to power your car, so it's cleaner and only produces H20 as a byproduct.
That is without taking into account that most hydrogen cars are actually hybrids containing batteries and hydrogen fuel cells etc which have a massivly greater lifetime impact on the environment than me driving down the road in the skyline with a rich fuel map, popping flames and burning rubber. |
I never said I was using the conventional method of electrolysis.
Because they said its the only way to skin a cat, you believe them?
