How does hydrogen and natural gas make the Saudi's richer? The US is one of the biggest producers of natural gas in the world. We do not need mid-east natural gas to meet our needs and are not likely to in the future. It still releases hydrocarbons when burned but it better the gasoline. Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical element in the universe, again we would not need middle east production. It can be produced in a variety of different methods some of which are clean and green. We need alternatives and we need them ASAP. If there is an expectation that the alternatives have to be completely clean and green before we introduce them then we are in for a long wait. Both hydrogen and natural gas technology for vehicles are already available and being used, although limited, today. The beauty is they are already cleaner fuels than gasoline and the can be produced in the US. What we need the govt. to do is incentives in helping put the infrastructure (fueling stations) needed for mass prodcution of the vehicles in place.
