Gaseous Emissions

According to the BBC, Abu Dhabi is going green, with a 50,000 person city having zero-emissions of carbon dioxide.

How is this achieved? By using Hydrogen as a fuel.

And how do the make the hydrogen you ask? Using solar power? Renewable energy?

"Hydrogen will be manufactured from natural gas by reactions involving steam, producing a mixture of hydrogen and carbon dioxide. "

But it gets worse!

"President Bush's administration is also pumping money into hydrogen. The CO2 can be pumped underground, either simply to store it away permanently or as a way of extracting more oil from existing wells, using the high-pressure gas to force more of the black gold to the surface."

1. Storing your waste gases is not a viable way of reducing long-term emissions.
   
2. How can they justify using the waste CO2 to extract more oil?!
3. Moving the problem somewhere else does not solve it.
4. Do they think that natural gas is in infinite supply?
   

I cannot believe that this was reported in a positive light by the BBC.
