Wait a minute. What?

It Could Be a Vast Source of Clean Energy, Buried Deep Underground

Governments and companies worldwide have been betting on hydrogen as a cornerstone in the fight against climate change. A multibillion-dollar industry, backed by billions more in subsidies and private investments, has sprung up…

Apparently, says some guy from the U.S. Geological Survey, “There are many other places around the world where similar finds could also be made, and people are looking at it because it really could be impactful.”

So why are we spending…

I remember the W Bush one once claiming hydrogen-powered automobiles were the remedy for global warming but that idea got dropped like a hot…errr, warmed…potato. Or so it seemed. But now…?

I'm confused. And not just about that. About this, too:

In Lorraine, the scientists said their tests suggested that 46 million to 260 million metric tons of natural hydrogen could be lurking beneath the coal mines.

How much hydrogen does it take to make up a ton? I mean, the stuff is lighter than air, isn't it? It floats. How do you even weigh it? 

This is all way too much for a Monday morning.
