Another logical failure. If something "occurs," there is, ipso facto,
"change."

My masters thesis was in risk - all probability and stats. When we talk
about probabilities and we have a reasonable sample (or a population)
of data, an occurance does not change the underlying stats. We are
talking about probability and stats here.

If one can create hydrogen by
fracturing water with electricity produced by solar panels, then the
pollution budget may be lessened,

And if meaningful amounts of energy are to be created, then you'd better
be prepared to pave entire states with photovoltaic panels. If you look
at H2 as a complete package, the unsuitability of the stuff becomes
apparent.

It all depends on what we're trying to accomplish.

The H2 economy advocates have successfully pulled the wool over many
eyes.
