It is the cleanest fuel known, it’s cheap...
Blatant lie at the start is not good.
Hydrogen is not cheap. It is quite expensive. Expensive to produced, expensive to store.
I wish it were cheap, but it is not.
And let’s talk about DANGEROUS.
That’s what makes it expensive.
Hydrogen goes bang.
The Hindenburg was filled with hydrogen because it was cheap, had better lift and was available to the Nazis rather than our helium which was restricted.
I don’t know how big the conversion plant and reservoir on a hydrogen powered car would be, but I doubt anything could go wrong. Go wrong...Go wrong...Go wrong.
Personally I’m working on a wind-powered car. it will have hundreds of miniature windmills Scotch-taped to the roof.
“Hydrogen goes bang.”
Perfect fuel then for democratmobiles and NFL members.
Ping.
Bearing in mind that many of these so-called “breakthrough technologies” end up proving to be pipe dreams, if this specific path proves valid it would be a major earthquake in the realm of energy production.
Also, the article says it produces “no pollutants”, only water into the air.
Isn’t water vapor a greenhouse gas?

Combine Hydrogen with carbon, and it becomes easy to store, transport, and use.
The idea of Hydrogen powered vehicles has been around for quite some time, and I believe there are already several options on the market. Electric cars are the ones receiving massive subsidies so its impossible to tell whether hydrogen technology will ever get a real foothold in the market.
How well would Hydrogen work in freezing climates where it was stored outside?
Once we get that free energy thingy working, we can use it to make almost free hydrogen. /sarc
So does gasoline..................
What a load of bull. CNG is already here already cheap.
The second line tells why is might be less costly.
Hydrogen is also bulky unless you can store at cryogenic temperatures.
I so wish we could use it.
Replace carbon dioxide with water vapor and global warming will be man made and imho severe.
At what pressure will they store H2? It is able to blister metal containers and, because of its small size, there are very few materials able to contain it. Hydrogen fires are very hard to detect and very dangerous because of the invisible flame. Ask any refinery operator who works in the Reformer unit.
Big bang if you pour some into a barrel with leaves in it and toss a match from about 3 feet away....
