Requires subsidy also. So, will the E required to liquify and pump down be less than the E obtained by the oxidation of the fossil fuel? And even worse if used to displace oil and gas!!


bc noted the objection by the enviers .. better spend the money on non-fossil , “conservation”, and efficiency.
