I don't think there is enough platnium on earth to provide the catalysts needed to run all the fuel cell cars and trucks envisioned.

I don't think there is enough platnium on earth to provide the catalysts needed to run all the fuel cell cars and trucks envisioned. Which brings up yet another thing we can't mine/drill for ("yet another" because every raw source of hydrogen already is on the envirowhacko "don't go get" list).

"I don't think there is enough platnium on earth to provide the catalysts needed to run all the fuel cell cars and trucks envisioned." R&D has dropped the platinum requirement by at least one factor of ten (and probably more). Last time I checked (a couple of years ago), this was no longer considered a significant limitation. Add to that the continuing work by catalyst chemists to develop non-platinum catalysts.
