What an absolutely STUPID article (but you probably already knew that).

Anyone with half-a-brain or who knew ANYTHING about this subject knows that any hydrogen fuel cell car will use liquid fuels (gasoline or possibly methanol) and will have an onboard reformer to convert the liquid fuel to hydrogen on demand. This would of course solve the problem of infrastructure, who will refuel the car, etc. that the author is so happy to point out.

Any environmentalist whack-o that would tell the truth would admit that such a system will reduce pollution in that a) both fuels will, by necessity, be sulfur-free (no SOx emissions) and no internal combustion means no NOx emissions. Both of these, as I'm sure you already knew, are what cause acid rain.

Factor in the spinoffs which will inevitably occur from the R&D dollars already being expended on this by private industry and I think it would be obvious that this is going to be a winner.

The "stupid cowboy" Bush strikes again.

H2 stored in a metal hydride can be instantly converted back into gaseous h2, just add water. http://www.powerball.net/ has some info if you are interested.
