There is definitely some promise there, but the hydrogen folks have some hurdles to get over first. One of the biggest ones is where the hydrogen will come from. Up to this point everything I have read and heard pushes that problem off to be solved magically by technology in the future. It doens’t do us any good if we are using fossil fuels to make a fuel that is supposed to free us of the chains of fossil fuels.

My buddy Greg from www.yoyoguy.com turned me on to a site that actually deals with the problems as well as the benefits of hydrogen. They are the first to admit that the technology isn’t quite ready yet, but they are also the first I have seen (in my very limited research) who don’t talk about hydrogen in such glorious terms as to make it unbelievable. Check it out for yourself here. They are even realistic about hydrogen generation and propose that you do it yourself with solar. I have to say, it would be awfully nice to not have to pay someone else for your fuel. But then again, I’m still crossing my fingers and waiting for my solar car. With some luck, some help, and some solar panels, I’m hoping to make my Prius get closer to that goal.
