I like the draconian idea of banning all cars.  What to do with loans that remaining place? Where do we put them? How quickly can we get in place alternatives for commuting to school and work and the grocery store?

I am also a proponent of getting rid of automobiles because I am totally sick of them. I would really like to be able to leave my house without having to constantly dodge speeding hunks of metal.

"Green" hydrogen, produced by electrolysis is expensive, so it's produced by steam reforming--cheaper, but it uses natural gas as a feedstock and produces "grey" hydrogen which contributes nothing to climate change mitigation.  But "grey" can become "blue" hydrogen when the CO2 is captured by carbon storage techniques that are very doubtful on many levels.

There is even more interference when hydrogen combines with oxygen in the stratosphere to form water vapor, which also contributes to climate change. Finally, the entire process of hydrogen production, transport, distribution, storage and use is affected by common leaks that release gas into the atmosphere.  This is one of the biggest problems among many, and it also seems to be under-reported and not well understood by people looking for easy answers.

> Universal Hydrogen — an international company with modular hydrogen storage technology for planes, ground transportation and heavy manufacturing — will invest $254 million in a new manufacturing and distribution center at the Albuquerque International Sunport, potentially employing up to 500 people, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced Thursday afternoon.The state will contribute $10 million in Local Economic Development Act funding for the project, which could have a $700 million economic impact here over the next 10 years, according to the Governor’s Office, which held a news conference Thursday at Hotel Albuquerque in Old Town to announce the project.
