3. The "bullshit" video is, of course, a lie.

A lie oft repeated, based on a lot of facts but absent the details.

Hydrogen is abundant, yeah we know that and it's useless to us unless we use energy to release it. It exists nowhere unattached to other elements.

Cowpoop contains energy, methane, just like natural gas.

You can collect methane at diaries. I've took a group on a field trip to Vintage Dairy, where they collect the waste, store in in a forty foot deep pit, collect the gas and scrub it an add it to the natural gas infrastructure.

Toyota dude took a load of poop to the diary to show how gas can be derived from it, that might even have been the place I went.

Then they pump some methane into a truck and take it god knows how far to a Nuvera methane to hydrogen plant and make some hydrogen, put it in an ugly car.

NOTE: the Nuvera plant makes hydrogen out of natural gas from fracked wells, that is where our hydrogen will come from.

That is CAN be done using manure is all that we know. It will never be done at commercial scale.

Just ask Nuvera: http://www.nuvera.com/blog/?p=2288
