More subterfuge. They have completely ignored that fact that hydrogen is ALSO AN ALTERNATIVE TO GASOLINE which would help provide for the added competition and needed supply to meet the demands of a healthy economy.
It is true that cars, that are "smogged" up in California are burning gasoline very cleanly now. But the enviro-whackos cannot say that, since they would be out of a job when it comes to inventing more dirty air....
You can't do this economically without nuke power and the EnvironMental Communutty has driven the costs of that out of this world, except in France!!!
Funny how the size of CA's economy is compared to France... kinda makes one wonder...
As with many of the alternative fuels, too many "other" issues are not factored in. Things like in the electric cars, the power generation and the battery disposal issues are ignored.
--yeah--this one could make the stem cell farce look like small change--
But hydrogen is still an emerging science with rapid advances, and it is expected to be cheaper and more efficient in the future, said Michele St. Martin, spokeswoman for the California Department of Environmental Protection.

umm... Aren't gasoline engines becoming more and more fuel efficent too. Remember what pollution actually is - wasted energy.
V. John White, an adviser to the Sierra Club on clean-air issues, said he is skeptical of findings by the Reason Foundation because of the group's ideological bias.

Attacking character instead of their arguments AGAIN!
Oxides of nitrogen will be created by internal combustion, a major component of acid rain, hence, the envirals will always have something to whine about, no matter how clean the fuel burns, nor its availibility.
I wonder what this will do to General Motors' plan to have a competitively priced fuel cell car on the highways by 2010?
Kaleefornyuns sure do have lots of money to burn.
Meanwhile, innocent unborn face murder for medical research...
I am sceptical of the Sierra Club and don't trust their
opinions.

At the very time he's at the Republican National Convention wowing FReepers with his "what a Republican is..." speech, he's signed a bill to work toward locking up all the private land in 1/5th of CA and blowing smoke up everyone's differential about the "Hydrogen Highway!"
Can't anyone here see how totally absurd Arnold truly is in his bad-acting roll as a "Republican?" Would any of you do business with such a huge "bait and switch" artist? Or would you call the DA and have him charged with GRAND LARCENY???
I want some credible answers from consistent conservative FReepers, right here and right now!!!
Oh and I thought the hydrogen thing was to get off the oil teat. Screw the environment, if I can't drive around in a Hindenburg then I want a friggin nuclear reactor under the hood.
In that case, check this dealer out, I think he's based in Macon, GA:
(No Money Down--Chuck Berry, as modified by Duane Allman)
As I was motivatin'
Back towards town
I saw a Cadillac sign
Sayin' "No Money Down"
So I eased on my brakes
And I pulled in the drive
Gunned my motor twice
Then I walked inside
Dealer came to me
Said "Trade in you Ford
And I'll put you in a car
That'll eat up the road
Just tell me what you want
And then sign on that line
And I'll have it brought down to you
In a hour's time"
I'm gonna get me a car
And I'll be headed on down the road
Then I won't have to worry
About that broken - down, raggedy ol' Ford
"Well Mister I want a yellow convertible
Four - door de Ville
With a Continental spare
And a wide chrome wheel
I want power steering
And power brakes
I want a powerful motor
With a jet off - take
I want air condition
I want automatic heat
And I want a full Murphy bed
In my back seat
I want short - wave radio
I want a color TV and a phone
So I can call up my baby
When I'm ridin' alone"
Yes I'm gonna get that car
And I'm gonna head on down the road
Yeah, then I won't have to worry
About that broken - down, raggedy ol' Ford
"I want four carburetors
And two straight exhausts
I want a nuclear reactor
An' I don't care it costs
I want a railroad air horn
And a military spot
And I want a five - year guarantee
On everything I got
I want ten - dollar deductible
I want a twenty dollar note
I want thirty thousand liability"
That's all she wrote
I got me a car
And I'm headed on down the road
No money down
I don't have to worry
About that broken - down, raggedy ol' Ford
???
HAW, HAW, HAW, HAW, HAW, HAW, HAW!!!
Yes.
Would any of you do business with such a huge "bait and switch" artist?
No.
I want some credible answers from consistent conservative FReepers, right here and right now!!!
Some credible Freepers have been posting supporting arguments for over a year now to expose the folly. But the drum beats on. I'm glad to see the Reason Foundation aid in exposing the Hydrogen boondoggle... now they need to Follow-The-Money!
