    The problems I see with hydrogen are it tends to leak as it's such a small molecule, it's relatively expensive to produce, you have to store it at high pressure, and when it ignites, it does so in a big way.

    It's got to be a lot cleaner than lithium batteries.

    I was only joking

      Problem with hydrogen is it takes more energy to make it than what you get. But...here's where I think that solar or wind could shine, as best they can.

        Hydrogen powered is still internal combustion, is it not? I'd think in the long run much cleaner. Then there is the weight factor to consider. EVs are about 50% heavier than an IC car. That has an impact on our roadways and especially urban bridges.

        No. Hydrogen is used in a fuel cell to make electricity.

        BMW and Sasol, a multinational integrated chemical and energy corporation, are working together to develop hydrogen fuel cell technology for electric vehicles.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          I have hear that Toyota is also doing alot of research into Hydrogen power cars.

          That is a good thing.

                That depends whether you are buying or selling.
