Not that Mook is always right about everything, because he's not
unless you'd care to take his word for most everything, but you really
need to get yourself educated past 4th grade and at least learn the
physics basics before flatulating again.

There's nothing unsafe about using pure hydrogen, because pure (95+%)
hydrogen doesn't burn. Put it this way, it's also a hell of a lot
safer than gasoline or even methane or worse yet is propane.

Secondly, don't expect Mook to ever back down, because he never does.
Not that you're any different.
