Anti-Fossil Fuel Zealot from Cornell Trash Talks PA Blue Hydrogen

Cornell University professor Robert Howarth has poked his head up again to bash shale energy. This time he's taking aim at hydrogen produced from natural gas. Howarth hates fossil fuels--all of them--including clean-burning natural gas. In March 2011, Howarth and two other Cornell profs published a peer-reviewed study in the journal Climatic Change titled, “Methane and the greenhouse-gas footprint of natural gas from shale formations” (see New Cornell University Study Says Shale Gas Extraction Worse for Global Warming Than Coal). The study made the laughable claim that shale gas extraction is worse for the environment than burning coal because of greenhouse gases.
