Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell car to arrive in the US next summer

[misor]

Fueling your car at a standard gas station is risky business enough . I simply can't wait to take my life into my own hands f***ing around with high pressure hydrogen gas. (EG. bullets flying, people slamming into the pumps, people pulling away with the hose still in the tank. I have to confess though, I really enjoy the footage from the security cameras on the 11:00 news).

The whole process brings to mind to plight of the male black widow spider, on his honeymoon night..

Yeah, I know, I'm an old fart with old ideas. Blah, blah, blah.

better a dead male black widows spider on his honeymoon night than dying without experience. on second thought, black widow spiders practice population control based on sex. I'm going to consult my xenobiologist if this selective depopulation is good for the insect world.

I think I read somewhere that there was an electric car program in the United States of America during the 1980s. the program was 'dropped' due to pressure from OPEC.
if Obama is pro-environment, he should restart it...or the next U.S. president (H. Clinton, McCain?)...
the u.s.-West often claims it is a hostage of OPEC yet no unified approach on clean energy for mass, family, and personal transportation. gas supply is tied to Russia and the members of OPEC.

The Japanese company claims the car will feature a range of 435 miles with a refueling time of around three minutes, figures that highlight the benefits of fuel cell technology over all-electric solutions. Other specifications haven’t been finalized, however.

wow, I hope the fuel costs as much as the next purified water. (hydrogen fuel from water hydrolysis?)

I think for John McCain to be an effective US president, they would have to move the White House to North Viet Nam. I have the sneaking suspicion the best part of him was left there during the war.

Dude, that earthquake that just leveled your house, that was us, fracking for natural gas. Energy dependent, my gass. After BP drains the gulf's oil, they'll be fracking under an apartment complex near you...We gotza keep dis country on da road!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't you need megawatts on top of megawatts of electricity to hydrolyze enough water to run even a 1/10 of the cars on the street today? And you know, electricity doesn't grow on trees, currency does.

Uh...Prius? (you can't seriously buy that design...)

if you know better, why are you here?

In Back To the Future II they had Mr. Fusion (Home Energy Reactor) attached flying hovering vehicles in 2015. Those just use Bio-plant base and barley grain use in drinking products.
