If you want on or off this list, let me know.
I don’t know I buy the health impact, though I can understand for certain things, the Hybrid just doesn’t cut it. If money wasn’t an option, I’d get a Hybrid SUV or something. I’m waiting for Fuel Cells though.
Love the moniker.
Ah, yes, fuel cells. The alchemist’s promise.
Honda is bringing out a hydrogen fuel cell in California. However, there have been other fuel cells that use gasoline and don’t need a revamping of our entire infrastructure to accommodate it.

What’s the EMF field of the vehicle compared to cell phones? Isn’t there a cell phone hysteria about them causing brain caner?
As for the hybrid cars themselves. It’s been shown that when they run on gas only their MPG is terrible. Then too, how long would it take to amortize the car with the difference with what you’re paying now for gas for your regular car and the hybrid. There was a chart on Google that said it would take ten years to break even.

Actually, Honda is leasing a small number this summer in Southern California. The real problem with Fuel Cells is re-supply fueling. The infrastructure isn’t there and would probably take a decade to build (worst case).
Doesn’t using gasoline for a Fuel Cell defeat the whole purpose of a Fuel cell vehicle?
This idea is absolutely stupid - if this were true, then every utility worker at a power plant would be (a) sterile, (b) deformed, (c) a monster, .. or worse!
A conservative?
Yeah, I do. Only I don't remember it being an environmental, public-health, or economic disaster. This guy must be running his diesel in a garage with the door closed.
Not true. Here’s a few examples of what’s going on in that area. These fuel cells don’t use hydrogen. That’s probably what you think of when you think fuel cell but they can use a wide range of fuels including gassified coal.

Fuel cells can use their fuel quite a bit more efficiently. That’s where the promise lies with them.
I admit I never bothered to educate myself about the process in detail, and now I'm curious.
Where is the savings???

It is time to get into the aluminum wear business. I could make a killing selling just hats.
What's wrong with you? You're not supposed to think about it. You're supposed to feel good about yourself because you're greener than others.

How much hydrogen does one of these 'Hondenbergs' have to carry around as fuel?
