In my opinion, hydrogen cars were never a viable option. Hydrogen is quite an energy-expensive fuel to make and for the industry to even get off the ground, you would have to have at least 15 -20 000 filling station across the US set up BEFORE people would even begin to think about investing in a hydrogen car. Not to mention that no storage system for hydrogen could be built big enough to cover the mileage drivers today require on a single filling. Electrics can be charged at home or at any outlet and you can get the electricity from renewable resources. The battery systems are also so good today, you'd get both the speed, the mileage, the cost effectiveness, ease of use AND keep it ...

Anyway, I don't drive myself, and I don't know all that much about cars either. You seem to be waaay ahead of me and in-the-know about these things, so I am sure you already know all that. What is your opinion on hydrogen cars?

Aww, you're way too kind, but as always, you're the perfect gentleman, AK. .

Yes, I had forgotten all about the use of electrolysis to create energy from water! Now THAT would be something, eh? Here's another short video about this issue and if you notice, the video is more than 3 years old!

Now WHY haven't we seen more to this technology, especially now that it is obvious and critical, that we come up with new solutions to our dependence on energy? Well, again the conspiracy theorist in me reckons, that this technology is purposely being squelched, for the simple fact, that the oil barons would not be able to make a profit on, or monopolize ...

Tesla must be rolling in his grave, knowing that the solution to all our problems is just a *raindrop* away. Too bad, that greed is always at the root of most, if not all, of the problems we face today.

Now AK... you KNOW I can't help but make jokes so I was thinking... if you're on the ground looking up at me, does that mean you're trying to catch a peek up under my dress?? Bad, bad, bad, you are! .

*smooooch*
