Any fuel which contains carbon will contribute to greenhouse gas emmission.
Only hydrogen truly solves that problem.
In this case, if the Bush administration is serious about CO2 r3eduction (which appears to be the case) then it explains why they are interested in hydrogen to the exclusion of all other fuels.
In that case it further follows that they will develop whatever technolgoy is required (no matter how high the cost) to make hydrogen safe for the public.
FYI here is a govt web link about hydrogen.
