There are almost no hydrogen stations any where else and have you priced hydrogen?
It should be very expensive. I would be surprised if it was less than $5 per GGE.
Hydrogen is not as green as natural gas. The hydrogen is made from natural gas. The Carbon is still turned into CO2 and released. At least with direct combustion of natural gas the formation of CO2 actually helps move the vehicle down the road.
Kind of makes you wonder, whats the point of stripping the carbon out of the natural gas, guess its just so they can charge you a lot more money for the same amount of energy.
