HeartLite Giggle for you

A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge
heart covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service.
Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside. The
heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever.

At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter. When
all eyes stared at him, he said, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking of my
own funeral... I'm a gynecologist."

Wind generated hydrogen

Robb MandelbaumĀ¹s AFTER OIL is the best I have seen on the worst government consumption jobs program ever. It consumes soil, aquifers, fossil feedstock and fuels, producing a motor fuel that is not carbon free and when all input is considered costs more in energy than you get out when the ethanol is burned, Robb mentions all of this including work to get alcohol from cellulosic materials. For comparison he should have mentioned the real motor fuel source for AFTER OIL.

The US uses 160 billion gallons of motor fuels annually. The AFTER OIL fuel supply must deliver this amount with a completion time of less than 10 years. There isnĀ¹t enough arable land in the US to do this from all crops, ever. 500 gallons of ethanol comes from corn per acre per year if the crop is perfect meaning fertilized, weed free, bug free and irrigated. If you put one 5-megawatt wind turbine on that acre you get 493,000 gallons per year of gasoline equivalent in hydrogen from the electricity generated if it is used to electrolyze water. The electrolyzer is placed where the fuel demand is and the turbine product goes there at the speed of light in wires. This alternative fuel and its production system is carbon free and without subsidies fuel at the pump will cost about $2.50. The $5 million turbine and electrolyzer will earn about $247,000 in gross profit per year.

Wind generated hydrogen can meet the 160 billion gallons of motor fuel required per year in the US. There are over 2 million square miles of windy region in the US. Every thing that runs on fossil fuels will run on hydrogen fuel with minor modification. Implementation of this wind-hydrogen alternate fuels system is a real jobs program that is not dead end.
