NAS: By 2050, its possible to cut car petroleum use by 80 percent | Ars Technica Already well past that point!!! I'd say, "not ignored enough".
assuming hydrogen in generated from renewable energy complete absence of existing infrastructure lack of a clear route to hydrogen production report gives them a strong endorsement at least as promising as battery electric (which already exist and have none of these disadvantages) "We believe in fairly tales but reality we distrust"? I just don't get it.
I have to agree with brianman. I had been waiting for a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle until I discovered the S in October (I know, I'm late to the party). But at that point I had to make the H fuel cell vs battery decision. For me, the longer time frame to market for fuel cells, the desire to use my solar panels NOW and, most importantly from a sustainability stand point, the hydrogen fuel delivery model requires one extra energy-requiring step -- split the water -- that makes it a significantly greater user of net energy. That last point made my decision to go electric once a viable car (the S) was available.
