Hydrogen is only practical if you use some form of renewable energy (solar, wind, wave, geothermal, or tidal) to produce the hydrogen. Even then, it may not be as good as electricity. Better solution would be mass transit that runs on electrify, like trains or trolley cars with wires or a “hot” track.

hionlife Rookie Author San Bernardino Posts:38 Points:300 Joined:Apr 2008	Message Posted: Apr 20, 2008 12:01:34 PM Ignore hionlife Report Abuse hybrids and alternative fuel vehicles have been around since before WWI - is the world using them? NO. If readily available- which they aren't - i would consider buying a non-fuel vehicle- YES. WE DO NOT need fuel to run our world - we have alternatives - have for eons - people make the choices to buy from large corporations - who tell you what you want!!!
