What I like about all this, is that it goes to show that technology can
get us away from oil and gas without hardship.
There is never going to be a shortage of combustible hydrocarbons while
there is electricity to provide hydrogen.
It's just that at the moment it is easier and cheaper to pour it out of
the ground.
When it is inconvenient, impractical and less cost effective than
alternatives, the alternatives will be used.
We can run vehicles on hydrogen but it is convenient to consider the
technology too dangerous.
I don't know what all the fuss is about. Really, I don't.
If motor cars were a recent invention they would not be allowed to go
fast enough to kill anyone. That is the problem that we are not facing.
That's the real problem!
Prior to the industrial revolution, very few vehicles would go faster
than 25 mph and most had on-board computer over-rides to cut out the
driver if he was being silly -ABS brakes, the works.
