Animals create waste, plants create waste, stars and planets create waste. In fact, everything creates waste. Its called the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
These guys are making a living telling us all how naughty we are for doing something that it is fundamentally impossible not to do. Thanks a lot jackasses.
The existing infrastructure for transporting natural gas is unfortunately insufficient to transport hydrogen gas.
The hydrogen atom is the smallest one around and tends to leak like crazy if given the chance. This is part of the reason why hydrogen power is so expensive. A valve that would stop propane or methane flow looks like a wide open door to hydrogen gas!
I don't understand why wave power is touted as an eco-friendly power source. If anything, it is worse than gas or nuclear.
In order to provide a decent amount of power it is necessary to essentially pave a large section of the coastline - one of the most ecologically sensitive habitats around!
The most ecologically sound solution would be to put four high-efficiency nuclear plants in Siberia that do nothing but produce hydrogen. The hydrogen could then be used to power cars and contribute to the power grid. Bury the nuclear residue in the wasteland and leave the coast to the fishies.

xtal, you have hit the nail on the head.
This is the first intelligent, reasonable post I have read in this thread.
Humans are not the only creators of waste.
