There is always the first step.

[Mr Rogers]

He pledged to sign an executive order requiring hydrogen fueling stations every 20 miles on interstates and highways to encourage consumers to buy the pollution-free vehicles.

Sounds like taxation without representation. Admittedly, the Leg will probably go along, but why build a bunch of stations no one wants? And how much will it actually cost? And who will pay?

This idea is not ready for prime time. And if Arnold supports it, he isn't ready either.

There are other concerns with hydrogen. Scientists are still struggling to devise a safe and efficient way to store the hydrogen. If stored as a gas in high-pressure tanks, it could pose a safety risk.

No kidding.

Dump the Hummer. Drive a Hindenburg.

"Arnold Schwarzenegger's plan to cut air pollution by 50 percent within a decade -- mostly by urging drivers to use hydrogen-powered vehicles -- was described as unrealistic"

DUh....Can't say Stupid, but of course we know it is just a stupid thing to say with nothing to back it up. Cuban Cigars and a Hummer...

Nuclear energy is clean energy, and using it to produce hydrogen fuel cells is a good idea (although perhaps it's still too early to have hydrogen refueling stations available every 20 miles). Who knows how much hydrogen will cost a consumer, and if it will be taxed like gasoline to pay for our welfare state?

Someone asked what his competitors think. Tom McClintock suggested reducing emissions by building more freeway lanes instead of squandering money on mass transit, and thereby engineering a smoother traffic flow. After all, being stuck in a traffic jam gets you zero miles per gallon of gasoline, diesel, or hydrogen gas.

Gridlocked automobiles create twice the NO_X contaminants and six times the carbon contaminants per mile as those operating at peak efficiency. Bringing California’s highways back to capacity would be the environmental equivalent of removing half the automobiles from the roads during rush hours for nitrogen oxides and removing five cars out of six for carbon.

From the article: "With some concerted effort and intelligent policies that combine developing fuel cells and transportation and stationary (fuel cell) sources, we can have a hydrogen economy much sooner."

The major limitation to developing new technology is the need to apply significant levels of engineering to various technical problems.

Years ago it was proposed to legislative mandate that the value of pi ( the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter ) be exactly 3 rather than the an irrational value only about 3% higher.

The simplifications in the resulting engineering calculations and the savings of three, four, or more digits of precision could result in incalculable savings in both time and effort.

Only the advent of inexpensive calculators has postponed consideration of this obvious efficiency improvement.

Even the historically interesting mathematical problem of "squaring the circle" becomes trivial using the proposed Euclidean ebonics.
