Did you know it cost a station owner $300,000 to add one? I'm assuming EPA (alias gustope) regs adds a major portion. Good reading "The Hype About Hydrogen" (don't let the fool you it's has to do with all fuels and energy sources) By Josph J. Romm . I recently bought a paperback copy after reading the original 2003 edition from the library, copyright 2005. Read the Afterword chapter that's been added. I hope Mr.Romm keeps the updates coming because of wide range of sources, sort of like covering all the bases and finding new that need covered. We need to address the electric production in our counrty first before we can have E-hybrids. A Hydrogen tanker fuel truck the size as we all seen would only fill 60 vehicles. Besides 60% of hyrdrogen production comes from natural gas. I found this very revealing having all these studys that's be done and what needs to be, just shows how complicated especially trying to control CO2 emissions.

That's the same as saying hoverboads are just around the corner, as soon as we figure out how to make them work.

A while ago there was an article that the government should help the US automakers more. I don't think they should do that, but what I'm getting at is the government should help install hydrogen fuel ups in key locations like fairly large cities to start out with when the first few hydrogen cars come out. If there is no place to fuel up there will be no consumers of hydrogen cars, because of course they can't use them. It would be a good idea for a company like Mazda to produce a hydrogen car. It's sort of ridiculous to start out with a huge SUV, but more practical to start out with a smaller car that wouldn't need as many fill ups (since there aren't as many places to get hydrogen, and it's probably going to be a few greenies who will buy this and I'm sure they wouldn't be buy a big SUV even if it is hydrogen). This is a GREAT idea, as long as they keep the hydrogen under control and make it safe, and they put fueling stations in major and less major cities. But as of now with no places to fuel up, this will be a terrible idea Interesting… but as already stated where would you fill up?
