      That sounds positive to me. However, we cannot tout these as being such a great source of clean energy, especially one to aid in the challenges of eliminating fossil fuels when they use plenty of those.

        You’re assuming “oil” and “crude oil” are the same thing.

        Even if they were using crude in one of these it would be a considerable carbon cost saving over the lifetime.
