If our leaders were smart, we'd be burning hydrogen. It makes so much sense
that it is almost a given that our government will screw it up. It is our
one chance to get out from under the burden of foreign oil. You can bet that
the oil lobby will make sure that never happens.
If we went to an all-hydrogen economy, I would gladly park my M35 (mv
content!) and drive my hydrogen-powered SUV anyday. Besides, I think that a
fuel cell would work nicely in an electric duece-n-a-half! You could really
sneak around. Imagine hydrogen coming in your house instead of natural gas.
You could make your own electricity, compress it for automobile fuel, and
drink the pure water that it generates.
Yup - our guvment will make sure that it never happens!
