Right, except burning oil to generate hydrogen makes pretty much the same pollution as burning it in a car would, so hydrogen makes little to no difference. At best hydrogen decouples energy source and use so that in future the fossil-fuel based source can be replaced without having to reconfigure millions of engines.

Having "also" and "too" in your sentence is a little redundant - next time choose one of these.

OK, so I'll assume you're not just pretending to be dumb. Mike said "Isnt it 'evil' to waste so much fuel". Note: "so much". He didn't say no one should ever use any fuel and never fly for pleasure, just that a whole 767 for 2 people is too much. I'm inclined to agree, if that plane would normally seat 300 people, they're using 150 times the fuel I do when I fly. Using some fuel is fine, but an amount way, way in excess of what is needed is just greedy.

As for "So what if planes pollute the earth?", you should be able to find a book on basic ecology at your local library. Maybe while you're at it you can look up how many wars since the 70s were fought over oil.
