I want hydrogen. It emits water vapor.

But let's hook up to the grid and burn coal as well as use nuclear power plants as well.

Not that I'm in the market. The priced of new cars are obscene.

I think of hydrogen as basically a battery. It takes a lot of electricity to produce and it produces electricity in the fuel cell.

I agree we need lots more nuclear. I’m not a fan of coal though.

Nothing's perfect.

A month ago, according to rumor "news" Toyota was bringing an EV with a battery that would charge quickly and be good for over 600 miles to market. A couple of days ago, the "news" was that Toyota will produce an AREV (advance range electric vehicle), battery powered, but with a small motor running a generator to charge the batteries. General Motors early EV was electric with a small motor generator, but they were poorly made and caught fire too often from what I read. Many locomotives are electrical with diesel powered generators and have been for years.
