Let America benefit from being on the cutting edge of this technology and may the Arabs pound sand.

Hear, hear! We're working on it. FCV won't be practical consumer vehicles for a few years, and after that then they will likely be "city cars," but they are coming. I can't wait until America's and the UK's petroleum needs can be met through domestic sources.

I work for a fuel cell company in the catalyst development department. AS you know, the fuel cell is "electrolysis in reverse," where gaseous hydrogen and oxygen are combined, and form water as well as electrical energy. The beauty is that there are no moving parts and it's a very simple powerplant - just turn on the gases and the voltage shoots up.

Ignore the naysayers who talk about "coffins" and poist pictures of the Hindenburg. They represent the buggy-whip industry at best, and are willing collaborators in our enslavement to Arab petroleum at worst.

How can you ? Arent we talking about 10000 psi tanks of H2 ?? Hydrogen gas has a huge explosive range. I wouldnt want to be caught in a rear end in one of those!

What's the latest on direct methanol cells? This would seem to be an answer to the hydrogen storage and distribution problem.

Kinda harsh, but I agree with you 100%....
