I'm not arguing about the fuel. I'm a big believer in hydrogen fuel, especially when stabilized by multiple carbon bonds.

You don't believe in electric cars, how about if it were powered by a 80 kW fuel reactor able to swollow gasoline, ethanol, liquified coal or even bio-oil running at 70% effiency? The current technology is the steam engine of old. It is needlessly complex, expensive, heavy and inefficient. Change is coming, I just hope I still have a driver's liscence.

That's pretty much what gasoline is.

I don't believe in BATTERY powered electric cars. A fuel cell is not a battery, so it would fit the bill rather nicely....lots of work to do there. Fuel cells will do interesting things to our entire way of life if they are ever perfected for the mass market.
