I saw on Good Morning America that Santa has gone "green." According to the story, Santa's sleigh is now powered by hydrogen. I always thought that Santa's sleigh was powered simply by the reindeer's energy but apparently, there was some fossil fuel use previously.

This story seemed a little silly to me, but perhaps it is a sign of the times that even Santa is interested in alternative energy. It is too bad that all of the gifts that we have shipped throughout the country were not transported via hydrogen energy. Rather, all of the shipping entails a huge amount of gasoline being used. It seems that if we are serious about hydrogen, we should not waste time creating an image of Santa delivering presents with hydrogen; rather, we should focus on the reality that getting our gifts from point A to point B uses way too much fossil fuel.
