Not to mention that hydrogen fuel cells will still require you to fill up about the same amount of the time. Moving towards gas-electric hybrids (or pure electric) will actually change the way we drive (i.e. not having to go to the pump every week). Oh and by the way, the best way to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and reduce polution is to NOT DRIVE AS MUCH!

A practical, efficient means of hydrogen production may have been developed. The article, Scientists Advance Hydrogen Tech, reports the following:

Researchers say they have produced hydrogen from ethanol in a prototype reactor small enough and efficient enough to heat small homes and power cars. . . .

The reactor is a relatively tiny 2-foot-high apparatus of tubes and wires that creates hydrogen from corn-based ethanol. A fuel cell, which acts like a battery, then generates power. . . .

The researchers say their reactor will produce hydrogen exclusively from ethanol and do it cheaply enough so people can buy hydrogen fuel cells for personal use.

Some scary stuff regarding oil alternative energy and all that crap.. Just think some of you might find this interesting

I think the guy is a bit paranoid, but it's still interesting reading.

Connect that article with Dave Pollard's posts at How To Save the World: Population: A Systems Approach, and also More Unpalatable Thoughts on Overpopulation, and also The Ten Most Under-Reported Humanitarian Events of 2003. The end is near.

In response to comment 2:

The hydrogen is being derived from methanol. Methanol is derived either from fossil fuels or biofuels. In either case far more energy is used to generate the hydrogen than the hydrogen returns when used. In short, a net energy loss. Unsustainable, and, ultimately, impractical.
