I'd like to know how the enviros intend to create hydrogen for the fuel cells. If they respond by telling me that they are going to create them from fuel cells, I'm going to laugh my butt off.

it would appear to me that propane would be the most likely fuel simply because the pressures are easily manageable and the delivery systems exist.

To me, to focus upon cars as a way to start this market is terribly wrong. The risk is outrageous, because the cost of developing a proven safe fuel delivery infrastructure is astronomical for an enormous market that doesn't exist. IMHO, the natural initial market for fuel cells would be stationary propane applications in remote locations, where line losses and maintenance costs warranted a replacement. Then we could convert that system to LNG. Once the stationary LNG infrastructure was there, then an automotive system might make more sense.

I think that hybrid cars make a nice bridge technology to fuel cells. It creates the opportunity to develop the drive train for the day when the source is fully proven.

I don't know how the enviros will make hydrogen for the fuel cells but Toyota, GM, etc. will have an on-board reformer to produce hydrogen from gasoline or methanol "on-demand."

Since both are liquid fuels, the current infrastructure (storage, pipelines, fuel outlets) can be used with little modification.
