"The Hydrogen economy is a bad idea - a really, really bad idea" {Autoblog Green}
Jan 14th 2007 2:39AM I completely fail to understand this ridiculous electric vs. hydrogen mentality. Essentially all hydrogen-powered cars proposed thus far (with the exception of that silly BMW) ARE electric cars; they just use hydrogen with a fuel cell as an efficient power storage system.
Why is hydrogen possibly a better engery storage medium than batteries?
- Hydrogen tanks don't require slow and/or complex charging systems, you can just refill them
- Hydrogen designs don't have nasty toxic chemicals that need to be disposed of some how (ever seen lithium burn?)
- Hydrogen has the possibility to have a much higher power-to-mass ratio than even the best batteries
So...stop hating on fuel cell designs just because Dubya said something nice about them.
