The same author who wrote this article would be the first to don his hippie threads and protest in front of all the nuclear reactors that would have to be built to sustain a hydrogen economy.
And to what price level will gasoline have to rise before hydrogen fuel becomes comparatively economical?
"some of them clean and renewable"
The accent there should be on SOME.
My brohter in law is a chemist, and he tells me that getting it from natural gas yields a bi-product of CO2.
Not so nice, Huh?
Uhhhhhh...No. Hydrogen must be manufactured...only practical non-polluting way would be to construct many more nuke plants, (not that I am against that)...but if you are going to do that, just invest the $ in new battery technology and go with electric cars...(skip the hydrogen "Middleman").
The First Man-made Nuclear Reactor
How Does a Nuclear Reactor Work?
Where Will the Next Generation of Nuclear Engineers Come From?
As long as the Hydrogen is generated with power from a clean source (like nuclear). Otherwise, it's just moving the dirty emissions of the car to a power plant.

oops .. sorry.
Yeah, and if this were to actually become a reality some other group of Californian enviro-whacko fruitloops would come out of the granola box to protest that hydrogen kills... something... ANYTHING, because we can't solve the enviro-energy issue or they'll be out of a job blaming Bush!!
"It can be produced from molecules called hydrocarbons by applying heat."
And the heat comes from WHERE..???
By burning fossil fuels to make steam of course...or splitting atoms.....
It's simple...ethanol to run cars, nukes for everything else. We can do this now.
