Better stay out of Los Angeles!
Wonder if this’ll work or turn out to be a boondoggle?
I just want a fuel cell powerplant for my '94 Jeep Wrangler - then I’ll be a happy man.
I want one for my Ford Pinto.
And in a stunning turn of events, Honda has made a car that is vastly better-looking than Mercedes. Go figure.
It’s eating at my brain. I must release this crappy joke upon the rest of the world:
So when the cars of city employees explode will bystandards scream out “Oh the Hahnmanity!”
Seriously, 220 miles per fillup is pretty good for a Model T. If all it needs is hydrogen, we won’t even need fillup stations. It will be possible to build your own little hydrogen pump right there in the garage.
Sadly, I misread this as relating to a fear of hydrogen-powered cats
As for cars, well there are all pretty scary!
Wow, imagine how hydrogen powered cats could chase birds…and they could ridicule dogs with impunity.

- One question I have about nearly every “hydrogen is the perfect alternative fuel” articles is, why is hydrogen referred to as “free”? Where is there any place on Earth to get free liquid hydrogen? Where on Earth does liquid hydrogen bubble up out of the ground every time you drill a hole?
-
Hydrogen is abundant, but for most of these proposed solutions we need the pure stuff, and most of the hydrogen within our reach is already stuck to something…?

I think it is free as in free of pollutants.
I was worried about that as well, DougC… but then I realized that instead of looking on it as a fuel, it’s better to look on it as a very efficient battery.
The problem is that currently, there’s no good way to store electrical energy. When we’ve got hydrogen fuel cells, and they’re common, we’ll be able to generate electricity by nice, safe, renewable means- like solar, wind, wave, etc., and then store that energy as hydrogen, by cracking good ol’ water.

- I think there’s only three problems here: the vast scale of petroleum consumption it is proposed that hydrogen replace, the generally low outputs of any available alternative-energy system, and the tiny efficiencies with which water can be electrically separated.
-
- By the by, wasn’t it Calilfornia that mandated 10% of all cars be electric by 2002? So, how many cheap, efficient electric cars are zipping around out there now? Or do the people elected who come up with these bong-dream laws just not know wtf they are talking about?

It burst into flames! Oh, the humanity!
Terrified? Not unless they fit one of these engines into the body of a red '58 Plymouth Fury.
