Pay up Sucka!

Glad to see hot rodders looking into hydrogen. Maybe the future will not be Pelosimobiles and Obamawagons!

...but, as any land-speed racer or any racer with a new car will tell you, nothing ever goes right the first time.

Mine is, "Everything works great until the current flows..."

The major problems with H2 are the molecules are so small, its very hard to keep it from leaking and without cheap electicity, its expensive to produce.

Other than that, I don't have a real problem with using it.

I understand that he set the record immediately after being told by Sandra Bullock that she was in talks to do “Speed 4”.

I'll bet it takes energy to make hydrogen...but will stand corrected if wrong.

Wait till Robert Ford finds out, he’ll shoot that record down.

Some times there is no difference between the liberal jihads and the republican jihads.

It was his money fool, he can spend it any way he wants.

"This, I honestly believe, is world-changing," James said...

I think this speed record may just be the most important development in the history of human or even galactic history.

Oh yeah it does. Almost always from fossil fuels or nukes.

Hydrogen is very similar to a battery, merely an energy storage medium. It has to be made into hydrogen from a true fuel/energy source.

He does have a huge ego, but he's earned the right to have it, I'd say. He's self-made, no government program got him where he is today, unlike some people.

Excluding any pollution caused by isolating the hydrogen, the only byproduct of hydrogen oxidation (burning) is water vapor.

Of course, water vapor is the most prevalent “greenhouse” gas, but don’t tell Al Gore that.

“Jesse James is a Dead Man is probably the lamest show Ive ever seen”

Sorry, that title still belongs to “My Mother, the Car”.
I saw it once when I was 4 years old, and it still haunts me to this day.
