Billions have been spent on trying to make a viable electric vehicle. Big waste of money. At least a significant portion of it was paid for by the electric company stockholders (who had their dividends reduced by the amount of money wated on this)

Still a large chunk was taxpayer funded and to what end? There aren't any electric cars on the market that are worth a crap. The true cost per is supposedly over $100,000 each (although the cost for lease purposes is set to mid $30k)

I smell corporate welfare.

No doubt. But that is another issue. We were discussing the merts/economics of H2 as a transport fuel.
