Daimler Chrysler's Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car

1st class! 5 stars

German invents things, Japs will market it...

the public does not understand some facts: - like it or not there are no (cheap) oil reserves left, so the world is running out of it rather sooner than later - any fossil energy we would still find would be more expensive to exploit and harm the environment even more than is the case today - the hydrocarbons era is out; the hydrogen era is the only clean alternative I suggest that those intersted read the book from Jeremy Rifkin titled The Hydrogen Economy.

Why would the terorrist need planes if the cars are nuclear powerd? (Hydrogen is not a good idea.)

they are hydrogen fuel cells not actual hydrogen fuel like those used in early airships

Your right. Its the engine. (I was thinking of fuel replacements).

Hydrogen? God damn! why not plutonium like on back to the fucture?

It looks like electric hybrid is the future. Hydrogen fuel has proven to be very expensive to produce and deliver to the public. Why not build hydrogen power plants to deliver energy in the form of electricity allowing people to get their MPGs indirectly from H thus reducing the CO2 emissions even further. Any T.A.K.E.R.S. ???

FUEL CELL IS NOT AN ENGINE BUT A MINI-POWER PLANT to generate electricity for Electric Motor to run the car. I ask WHY do you want to "carry" the Fuel Cell in a car, JUST KEEP THE FUEL CELL AT CHARGING STATION to generate electricity for PLAIN ELECTRIC cars to come and charge. At least you won't have safety issues connected with carrying hydrogen around and lesser weight(no fuel cell stack & no Hydrogen cylinders) to carry around. WHY CARRY FUEL CELL AROUND WITH YOU?

That is very good, now we can do carbon/body recycling like in Soylent Green. Fuel cells are still a ways away for the masses. Expanding the search for fossil fuels will just make your gas cheaper and your long term medical bills higher. I am glad to hear that A123systems batteries are making their way into EV's. I am sure if A123 was around a decade ago, the EVO1 would still be around!
