And talk about range anxiety, try taking an FCV anywhere and you’ll immediately experience severe anxiety over where those mysterious H2 stations are.

FCVs are a dead issue for personal vehicles. Even the oil companies think so. Consider that they are the ones who will sell you the H2, but do you see them setting up H2 stations? No. They could install hundreds of them all over CA, but they don’t because they know that battery electrics are going to win the race for zero emission vehicles.

As for the persistent fantasy that we will all be makeing our ‘own’ hydrogen from windmills Solar-panels, please give it a rest allready. Energy generation in this civilization is centralized and tightly controlled by either private or quasi-government entities. Even when goverments do control power generation , they show have shown little inclination to premit anything but token distrubted power schemes. And private american style firms, forget it, they simply wont allow any competition. Not one of these home-H2 schemes are remotely freasible, even if goverments would allow it(which they wont), they are energy material and economic sinks. Fool-cell vehicles are nothing but a costly, high-tech dog and pony show, a distraction from the very real problems created by not only ICE vehicles, but vehicles period. Fool-cell cars are DOA not matter how much money goverments give to fraudulent auto-makers like GM.

I like what I read about hydrogen, “…that hydrogen cars are in fact a kind of electric vehicle, but with longer range and quick refueling.” If hydrogen can be made from electricity and water and electricity can be made from renewable energy sources like wind farms and waterfalls, then, why can’t hydrogen be made from renewable sources?

What came first? Car or gas stations? Lack of gas stations didn’t stop cars from becoming popular. I think when fuel cell cars are ready, hydrogen stations will be ready. At least I hope so.
