Honda to produce hydrogen fuel-cell cars this year.

A limited number will be offered this summer on a 3-year lease @ $600/month.

I love the fact they are calling it a zero emission car which is just so much BS.

No doubt they'll be crushed at the end of the lease just like all those electric cars.

Hindenberg + petrol tanker = fuel air bomb

I'd rather try to escape from burning hydrogen, which goes up, than from a flaming pool of gasoline, which goes down and out.

Yeah. They pay out $21,600 during those three year and then end up with nothing.

Filling up the tank is gonna be a bi+ch. How much is hydrogen going for nowadays, anyways.

I heard the Sun has quite a lot.

Technically it's quite true. Now all we need is a whole lot of tidal power plants.

Was gonna say this, too. Unreal, the media...

Most of the hydrogen fuel cells get filled with gasoline.

Wrong. If you want to go to technicalities, it gives out water which is a greenhouse gas as it absorbs photons in the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Nevermind the fact that hydrogen has to be produced from energy, at least in part, produced from fossil fuels.

I think what Elok is saying is

H2 fuel cell -> more water -> more tides -> (imaginary tidal power plants) -> electricity -> more H2

It could work, in theory...
