Bush: "The sources of hydrogen are abundant. The more you have of something relative to demand for that, the cheaper it’s going to be, the less expensive it’ll be for the consumer.... Hydrogen power is also clean to use. Cars that will run on hydrogen fuel produce only water, not exhaust fumes.... One of the greatest results of using hydrogen power, of course, will be energy independence for this nation.... If we develop hydrogen power to its full potential, we can reduce our demand for oil by over 11 million barrels per day by the year 2040." I didn't know political policies could be adopted based on theoretical, unproven, futuristic techniques such as generation of power from hydrogen. It's a bit like saying: "With flying cars we could reduce the costs of road maintenance by 90% by 2040!"
