Yes, on paper dumbass.. The Solar Power group said the same
thing.......Donchaknow?..............

Hydrogen power seems to work well in Norway and Iceland,
where they are moving rapidly from "experimental" to
"mainstream". I drove one and refueled it, and there was
nothing odd about the experience. The refuel point uses
a small unit that converts water to H and O, using power
freely available in those two economies. Impressive.

But it's dangerous to carry hydrogen in your car. When you get hit, there
is no return to life. Not only you, any car involving in that accident.
You forgot what happen to the space Shuttle?

I'm no fan of hydrogen (in the current energy economy, that is), but
that's a silly argument. What happened to Challenger had very little to
do with a LH2/LOX explosion. In fact, there was no "explosion" of the
liquid hydrogen. It had an uncontained combustion *AFTER* the
significant part of the accident took place, and this combustion had
little effect on what was left of the vehicle. What tore things apart
were the aerodynamic forces acting on a suddenly-destabilized and
relatively fragile vehicle. (Rockets are actually fairly frail things,
designed to operate safely only within very specific environments and
conditions.)
Your better reference might have been the Hindenburg, and even that's a
really bad example.
Actually, gaseous hydrogen is probably one of the least dangerous fuels
to carry around -- probably less so than gasoline. It's got a pretty
low energy density (one of its biggest problems for transportation
purposes), and when released, it tends to go straight up, away from the
vehicle.

They solved that many years ago, the fuel tank on A H car is filled
with iron Oxide, this stops the "explodes on contact syndrome" Can't so
that with the Shuttle, as it's too much weight and reduces the amount of
fuel the tanks hold
