Hydrogen is not the future. Stations are too expensive to create and so is the drive train. Electric/hybrid cars are way more particle because your taking advantage of the gas infrastructure that is already in place - Adopting hydrogen as the primary fuel type means hundreds of thousands of fuel stations undergoing a transition that the majority couldn't afford without government intervention. Hybrid cars are IT, and we'll start to see electric engines as the primary engine rather than the combustion engine being the master. Look at the VOLT.

Batteries are more then just car's.If they could make a big enough and inepensive battery for your home.So you could put some windmill/solar/steam turbine on your house.You could fill up at your house and use and store energy.Youed have power when there was no grid.

Super Capacitors would even be better for cyclical charging/discharging. They would last much longer.

+ We won't see any government funding for hydrogen autos because they're already lending billions to the American auto industry to research and develop more fuel efficient/electric/hybrid cars to meet CAFE standards of 2020.

hydrogen cars wont be around for a very long time, because the fuel cells are to fragile atm, and to make them any bit stronger, takes a lotttt more money to make them.

TopGear FTW! The first person to create this show in America wins a cookie(the comedy in topgear, outside their car antics are aweful, plus their guests suck too)
Also I recommend everyone watch "Who killed the electric car" awesome movie and really sad. The electric car has a lot of negative hype surrounding it created purposly by GM and oil lobbyists because they know the electric car is practical and would work for 95% of the public.
