| hydrogen powered vehicles are very feasible. the problem lies in where you get your hydrogen first.
it takes electric power to produce it, so you ahve to get your electricity from somewhere anyway. cleanest ways to produce that are wind and hydro, but most common ways are coal, diesal and natural gas.
so typically you're going to be polluting anyway when using hydrogen, you'll just not see it coming out of your car.
lotta environmentalists are fully against every form of power generation (even wind in some places if you can believe it) and at the same time are against pollution (duh). part of the problem is that there is so many green groups, and they don't all agree. One might sue you to get rid of that coal plant, and then another will sue you to prevent the installation of wind generators in all that unused pristine land. its a rough situation. we gotta get that electricity from somewhere and all the clean and natural solutions (up to now) have a stability problem, you can't control their input. so you need a LOT of stations to give you command over your power supply. |
