Hydrogen, electric cars for the commute that don't use any gasoline at all, and not a penny cheaper to run but at least they aren't dependent on foreign oil.

Been cooler to seem him ride his big four stroke dirt bike tear a$$ing across the desert in the SW looking for Illegal Aliens and calling them into the border patrol on his sat phone....
And in the evening barbequeing a whole cow for the Border Patrol and Minutemen....
Or ignoring Lennin's birthday altogether and telling folks why.

Notice he didn't take the Gub up on an offer of a ride in his motorcycle sidecar.
To: SmithL
Yeah, like the President controls the oil prices. But to Leftists, the gubermint is supposed to control everything, from the price of oil, to its availability (those with special "need" like celebrities and Party officials will always have top priority), to the amount of time you can pass gas in a day.

So much for drilling under this GOP controlled government. Independence from foreign oil was one of the major issues for which I voted all GOP since 2000.

Nobody seems to have figured out that producing hydrogen takes huge amounts of energy. The earth does not have any free hydrogen floating around, even tho' it is the most abundant element. All of it is tightly bound in substances like water, hydrocarbons, and living creature tissue. Hydrogen is effectively a (very inefficient) way to store energy.
Yes, I do know what a fuel cell is. And yes, I do know how to make hydrogen. The problem is that the making of hydrogen is thermodynamically inefficient. Moreover, storing, transporting, and using hydrogen as a fuel are all problematic. It is a low-density fuel, meaning that it takes much more space. It is a very dangerous fuel. Does anybody remember the German dirigible "Hindenburg"? It was a great bag filled with hydrogen. When it ignited, the entire airship burned in seconds. (No, I am not old enough to remember it. I just know my aviation history.)

There are no hydrogen wells anywhere to be found, you know... Hydrogen is not a primal source of extracted energy, it's a way to store energy that is produced by other means.
Promoting fuel cells is nice, but without legislation fast-tracking nuclear energy, it's not very helpful. If you have to burn imported fuel to produce hydrogen, then you are set further back because the process is less efficient than gasoline engines, due to the multiple conversions.

Bush planned to visit the California Fuel Cell Partnership in West Sacramento ... Now there are a bunch of crooks, IMO. Firoz Rasul, chairman of Ballard Power Systems Ltd., took over chairmanship of the California Fuel Cell Partnership in 2004. He has a pretty sleazy history.
To: FrogBurger
We have been over and over this on FR for a long time. The idea is to get free of imported oil, not to find a cheaper source of fuel. Reason being, there is nothing cheaper on this planet than oil.

The object of this exercise is to eliminate foreign oil. Cost is of interest but is secondary.
