That's the funny thing about hydrogen fuel cells: it tends to be a really round-about way of using fossil fuels.
Just a plain, battery-electric vehicle is so much more straight-forward. Fuel cells are an amazing concept, but if they ever go mainstream, we will really need to find a renewable source of hydrogen for them. Bust it out from methane from landfills perhaps? |
Offshore Solar/wind/tidal powered electrolysis plants... instead of offshore oil rigs
OR, make em nuclear powered. this kind of thing could also be built into any of the thousands of dams in the country. Imagine, a whole nation running on water |
