Reply #9: The weight of the fuel [View All]

[lapfog_1]

is not relevant.

Ask anyone that is an engineer.

It's the weight of the fuel system and engine that matter.

Coal could be used instead of petrol... except for the engine size and weight.

Hydrogen is not a fuel. It's an energy carrier. Just like a battery or capacitor.

It's not hyperbole. To pretend that it's anything else, THAT'S hyperbole.

And to pretend that there are no issues relating to the safe storage of hydrogen...

I'm all for solving problems... but I'm much more in favor of solving the TRANSPORTATION problem, not settling on a "solution" and then solve it's particular problem.

That's what the ethanol people have done. That's what the fuel cell people are doing. Pick a "solution" and then try to figure out how to fix the issues that surround it. That's not the way to approach problem solving.
