		<description>A hydrogen economy’s viability has been challenged around a &quot;chicken-or-egg&quot; dilemma; where to start: hydrogen powered fuel cell cars with no fuel dealers, or fuel dealers with no market? 

Marketing? At first: for gas cooking/heating. Many of these now use bottled propane delivered to large white tanks near consumers. Heating-hydrogen&#039;s transportation need only be, like other heating-gas now, from local fuel dealer to consumer. 

For early evolution toward cars, heating-gas trucks, and other applications, existing gasoline or diesel engines could use the fuel. Kits: with small pressure tanks, ignition timing adaptation (if needed), tubing, fittings, instructions, etc., could eventually permit it. 

Adverous, pioneering &quot;garage engineer&quot; tinkerers would find fuel at these heating hydrogen suppliers. This could eventually begin gently establishing hydrogen fueling stations for new, plug in free, fuel cell electric cars, like General Motors’, series electric &quot;Sequel&quot; concept car.  

Further evolution could move toward, more convenient, roadside locations, that gasoline and diesel now use. 

Some say electrolytically separating hydrogen from water requires fossil fueled electric grid reinforcement, and still more fossil fuel to transport it to fueling stations/dealers, adding CO2 from every stage, just to use a fuel that, itself, burns without making CO2, effectively eliminates hydrogen’s atmospheric CO2 reduction. 

Does it? 

Can’t photovoltaics (PV) power electrolysis – off-grid? PV’s unchanged direct current powers electrolysis without expensive, power-losing electronics to adapt gridpower’s alternating current. Storing hydrogen in pressurized tanks, makes production after dark unneeded. 

Why transport motor fuel, when made from energy produced where sold? 

Gridpower could continue supplying the station’s lights, tools, etc. 

Offering standard, inexpensive kits of:: PV panels, electrolyzers, a compressor, instructions, etc., hydrogen infrastructure could be established, station by station; if desired, even at home. 

The &quot;chicken-or-egg&quot; question needn’t delay introducing hydrogen powered fuel cell cars.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;I don&#039;t particulary care when this auto comes out, I would 
like to have a car period!  This car may be just what the country needs.  I&#039;d like to see the car succeed, and the auto
maker succeed! 

There are a lot of people who volunteer that do not have a 
car.  I&#039;d like to be the first disaster volunteer to try out the
car.

		<description>I want a flex fuel, plug in vehicle. 

I am putting a large array of solar panels on my roof and will charge my car (and power my house) with it. I have extensive experience with solar and love it - no moving parts!

Secondly, I live in an agricultural area of California (coastal). I plan to collect free agricultural waste (parts of plants such as brussel sprouts, strawberries, etc. that are thrown out) and produce bio fuel in a small home bio fuel production device. 

Free battery charge. Free fuel. (except for infrastructure).
