I did hear about that!

I'm curious to see where that leads.

I'm feeling cautious about it because it involves "mining" for the hydrogen, so there will be some ecological damage, and also I read that the oil companies are already sniffing around for it and they're obviously not trustworty.

But apparently there is a LOT of it and the energy that would go into retrieving it would be a lot less than the energy that (currently) has to go into making it.

We have a lot to sort out. Fast.

Here's an article on it:
