Agreed. Many folks don't realize that.

Cars will be hydrogen
Of course, you have to ask where the hydrogen will come from, since all sources are energy-intensive. People say "We'll use solar and wind generators!", and in many ways it's not a bad solution except that it displaces solar and wind power from other uses. If carbon-fueled sources are used to make up the shortfall, little has been gained.

You are correct, so let's go with methane.

If Nat Gas is utilized your carbon emissions are similar to hybrid vehicles.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element on the planet even though there are only 13 hydrogen fuel stations. So far.
