To the Editor:
Whatever form our energy economy takes after the demise of petroleum, we need to make our choices rationally. It is neither helpful nor honest to assert that "hydrogen offers a plentiful and clean form of energy". There are no fossil deposits on earth of hydrogen as there are of coal, gas and oil. Hydrogen must be made, just as electricity must be generated. It is a medium for storing and transporting energy, rather than a source.
