Default Re: hydrogen fuel cell car

Remember when cold fusion was announced by Pons and Fleischmann? Everybody was so excited! People thought that we'll just put a small cold fusion reactor in each house, and we'll have lots of cheap power. We'll put cold fusion reactors in cars and we'll no longer need to use fossil fuels. Then there was that big controversy when the cold fusion experiment couldn't be successfully replicated in other labs. Some people thought that it was a consipiracy by the big petroleum corporations to suppress the discovery in order to protect their industry. Haven't heard anything about those guys for years now.

Just read an article on General Motors new concept 'Hy-wire'. This is the first link that google provided: http://www.time.com/time/2002/invent...ra_hywire.html
It really impressed (the article I've read had many more details) me. And they are now working on fuel cells being able to provide enough energy to drive 500 km without refuelling. Think how much further you can go with your car's full tank?
Everything is programmable and they indicate that the car may become a sportscar! It would be very interesting to try an electric sports car
Edit: spelling...

Wow that's a lame web site.

I expect we could both produce large quatities of accurate data supporting either position on vegetarianism. Most of mine would come from a book that promotes, “The Sun Food Diet”. It works for Pooh Star who has maintained her lighter size for about a year now. I concede this is only one example and that I thoroughly enjoyed the hamburger I had on Sunday.

Yes I’ll concede there are good reasons for some people to use an SUV. I have a tough time believing it is more than 10 percent of the current owners.

War Dad, If / when I ever visit Mesa I’ll be sure you have been properly fed.

Large quantities of data on vegetarianism, yes. Accurate data on it, not likely.

There is no oil business conspiracy here. Those guys were crooks and all that stuff was a hoax. No wonder nobody was able to reproduce their "results".
