Hydrogen Vehicle Generates Its Own Fuel

An anonymous reader writes "Our friends at The Arizona Republic have the scoop: 'The truck is hydrogen-powered and creates its own fuel from solar energy and water, a technical feat that rivals the advanced technology being researched by major auto companies and universities. The four-cylinder engine is tuned to run on hydrogen, which is produced by a hand-built electrolysis system mounted in the bed.' You can also help this project."

but I'd bet we'll see petrochemical powered vehicles in the minority in my lifetime. (I'm in my late 30's).

Not if Bush has anything to say about it.

the problem with water

[budgenator]

What everybody forgets is there is a problem with water, and that is that its a significant green-house gas. There are four major greenhouse gasses; Sulpher Oxides, Methane, Water and Carbon Dioxide. The contribution to global warming by CO2 is arguable on a scientific basis, but the others are pretty solid. I'm not sure if trading a weak green-house gas for a stronger one is wise; and definately not something we should rush into based on emotional pleas from people who treat "environmental concerns" with religious zeal.
