| it's currently 4 times more expensive to make hydrogen than gasoline.. however, this is brand new technology - and just like previous technologies, future advancements will lower production prices. the biggest problem with hydrogen as it is, is that the current method of production requires the use of natural gas - another finite resource. researchers have found a new way to produce hydrogen fuel without using natural gas, but right now it's in the early stages of development. the government has decided to act like a corporation when it comes to hydrogen research.. they're withholding funding until it becomes clear that this new method proves to be viable. each method will alter the way that refueling stations are designed.
that aside, there've also been promising advancements in cold fusion research. i posted about this development in the science forum. and we already have the infrastructure in place to handle that change. |
