The damage to the environment is clearly in the eye of the beholder -- and
where the beholder lives.  There are many who eagerly await a longer
growing season for example.  MY greatest fear is that we end up with those
ugly windmills on every hill -- with a whomp whomp whomp whomp as I go to
sleep.

Now if we can get H2 from a solar induced reaction, that is good -- unless
of course CO or CO2 is produced at the same time.

My feeling is that in the long run there is no way around the Second Law.
