General Motors VP Larry Burns, addressing the National Hydrogen Association, said that the auto industry had developed hydrogen vehicles, and government and energy companies must develop the infrastructure for fuel distribution. “It’s no longer a question of ‘can it be done?’ or ‘should it be done?’†said Burns. “We not only should do it. We must do it. It’s now a question of collective will. Do we have the collective resolve to work together to solve the challenges we face rather than handing them off to future generations?â€

A nationwide hydrogen fueling infrastructure will only cost a little over a trillion dollars so the taxpayers and energy companies must cough it up!
Hydrogen is just a way to make Americans wait for this gee whiz technology while GM and the oil companies rake in profits. Pure electric (when the batteries work) and biodiesel-electric hybrids are much more efficient than hydrogen will ever be and they don’t require the building of a new fueling infrastructure.
Don’t buy into the Hydrogen Hype.
