Comment Why not push combustible Hydrogen? (Score 2, Insightful) 1100
By using H2 in an internal combustion engine as opposed to fuel cells, you get the best of both worlds. You don't have to recharge, there's no battery involved, you can get similar performance as you can with gasoline engines, you can drive for hundreds of miles without refueling as you can with gasoline, and there is no pollution or greenhouse gases. The only exhaust is water vapor. BMW already has such a car with an H2-powered V12, the 750hL (http://www.bmwworld.com/models/750hl.htm).
Personally, I don't think the masses will want to switch over to fuel cell vehicles, but I think that people will have no problem switching to combustible H2 because they don't lose any advantages that they have with traditional vehicles. It's even possible to convert our current vehicles to H2 power with minor modifications.
All we need is to have H2 filling stations as prevalent as we now have gasoline stations. That's much more realistic than having people have to switch to fuel cells, which people won't want to do.
