Toyota's Mirai (meaning "future" in Japanese) will be one of the first mass-market cars to run on hydrogen fuel cells, which convert compressed hydrogen gas to electricity, leaving water vapor as the only exhaust. As opposed to getting plugged in overnight, the sedan will need only about three minutes to get back to full charge, a huge boon for convincing the world's drivers to convert to a cleaner ride.

OK, it’s better than battery power for cars, so what.

You need electricity to separate Hydrogen from Oxygen that mean coal fired power plants.

The electrical power grid is becoming more and more strained as more and more coal fired power plants are decommissioned thanks to Obama’s War on Coal.

Who is going to buy an electric car that is going to be prohibitively expensive to drive due to the cost of hydrogen being prohibitive due to the high cost of electricity?

I will buy an electric car (hydrogen fuel cell/electric car) when it make more economic sense to buy one than it does an internal combustion engine car.

It already makes sense. Don’t forget you also cut car maintenance costs.

And cheap gas won’t be with us forever.

Now’s the time.

Solar is slowly taking up the slack. A friend of mine is an electrician. He has been taking jobs installing solar in homes and late last year it took over. It’s all he does. Sure, solar may not be cost effective, but as more and more people are worried about the grid, it’s becoming more and more about dependable power and less about saving money.
