It could happen you never know?

Let's do it guys! Why not mention hydrogen cars to Obama at Whitehouse.gov I think it would be a great idea anyone agree? Let’s do it guys!

I tend to be a bit more positive than most about hydrogen, because I believe it can be part of the solution for cargo vehicles - planes, trains, trucks, ships. Infrastructure at their limited contact points will be much easier to implement, and the government wouldn't have to be so worried about taking over an entire network of auto companies. I'm sure battery/capacitor technology will be fine for cars within a generation or two, and fuel cells may exist in a niche market for racing, etc. so we don't need the fuel everywhere. BTW - anyone know offhand how much oil is wasted on a single NASCAR race? It seems like with the leaps and bounds fuel cells are making, and in using less/no platinum, we should be ready for prime time anytime. To carcus1 - nice little solar Stirling electric system to your grid-tie, a turbine-free wind generator splitting H2O molecules for H2 production, and PV panels on the top of your car (and in the windows) for a during-work top-off. Those are some fresh eggs in a clean basket! All good points gentlemen, great thread.
