HYDROGEN ECONOMY

Here are some excerpts from the book, Hydrogen Economy by Jeremy Rifkin. NOTE: Some stats may be out of day now. Re: Tar Sand mining/processing - "Syncrude Canada emits 240 tons of sulfur dioxide a day...25 times the amount emitted by a conventional refinery producing the same amount of oil in Texas" (Page 132)...the cost of processing tar sands is $12 per barrel opposed to $1 per barrel the Saudis spend (page 131)...My Comments: Since carbon dioxide is colorless we can't perceive what a "ton" of it looks like as it is dumped into the atmosphere. Were it colored, I'm sure more people would be concerned about how much carbon is being spewed daily into our communal air.
