Ok. First off, one of the main reasons all government have the people by the balls 24/7 is because they MAKE us to to them for our energy. And then, knowing we really don't HAVE to go to them for Hydrogen, because the technology that already exists can simply be given to the people to make it inside ALL vehicles themselves. But of course they won't do that, because they'd be relinquishing their Strangle-hold on our wallets. Build your own Electrolizer and make it yourself. Youtube vids show you.

Is that Alan Alda doing the talking?

this is an old video cause they already have all their city buses running on hydrogen and have hydrogen stations running... too bad how rich the USA is that the politicians are bought off we could change over in less than a year if we really wanted to

"the new world order" is responsible.

they wont let us have the cheap energy.

learn about the

"new world order" for F@#K sakes

The documentary is called Scientific American Frontiers. You can stream the episode "Hydrogen Hopes" from the PBS website. However I must make a correction after watching it again. The hydrogen stations aren't powered by solar, my bad. I must have got up to get a drink during the transition ;). Not a bad idea though.

The real problem with vehicles like the BMW is that they must rely on the carnot cycle. They are inherently inefficient. Electric motors are much more efficient than internal combustion engines. Also, batteries are quite efficient. Why not go with electric cars. Hydrogen is really not that efficient for many reasons.

Electrolysis is horribly inefficient. It yields a lot of heat to separate hydrogen and oxygen from water. Fuel cells are much more promising. However, they are vy expensive
