Hear me out, so we make a ton of hydrogen for cars, heating, etc. But it takes lots of methane to make hydrogen. So we give oil companies subsidies so they can do more fracking which is how we get the methane in the first place. This will be great for climat cha—wait a minute...

Screw that, we already have plenty of methane from cows. Just shove tubes up their asses and harvest that.

Actually, cows burp most of their methane emissions

in my ignorance i assumed that we got hydrogen from electrolysis or something

We don't at the moment. Hydrogen is primarily part of the fossil fuel process.

But there's nothing stopping us getting it from water, other than cost.

That's really expensive compared to fracking. It's reasonable to assume that any hydrogen project is going to use fossil hydrogen
