how much do you think it will cost to get hydrogen in the future?


if it's a repost then you should have known from the title and shouldn't have clicked it only to make some gay comment.

I hope someone makes a cheap way to produce hydrogen sometime soon, based off of nice cheap hydoelectric elelctricity or something like that. I want to see more hydrogen powered stuff.

i dont see hydrogen becoming too popular within the next decade, seeing as the only places where you can fill up are in cali, one at lax and one in sacramento, its all still being tested, but it would be cool to be running on hydrogen, i think iceland's boats run on it

The biggest problem is the cost of production and the huge amount of energy it takes to produce the hydrogen. Supposedly it takes a lot of energy to make hydrogen and most of that is coming from fossil fuel burning power plants, which almost negates the green effects of hydrogen power. Once the technology comes along, the supply line will follow, just like ethanol and biodeisel are doing right now..

here is a kit that is in pre-production that will turn your gasoline car into a hydrogen burning car. you also generate your own fuel using solar panels and water (virtually free fuel). the problem with hydrogen is that you have to have 9.5:1 compression or lower to avoid knock.

how about we just work with ethanol. There is an abundance of that too and cheaper.

the biggest problem is how explosive H2 is and the stupidity of the general public. People would be blowing themselves up all the time.
