Hydrogen Vehicle Generates Its Own Fuel

Posted by michael on Thursday October 7, 2004 @05:30AM from the baby-steps dept.

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."

President Cheney is most displeased.

Dick Cheney has stated many times in public (on TV the other night during the VP debates even) that he has no desire nor ambition to aspire to any higher level of office.

I guess he could change his mind, but it's a matter of public record (many times) that can be used against him :)

Of course, Bill Clinton said something similar, I think, before/when he was elected as governor of Arkansas and it didn't keep him from changing his mind.

Vision of geeks dancing filled my head. Not something I would wish on anyone.

Al Gore invented his own solar powered hydrogen car on a lunch hour,
when he was really busy inventing the internet.

Iraq posed no threat to any of their neighbours after the disarmament and sanctions following the first Gulf War.

They had no weapons of mass destruction

and there is no prooof that Hussein supported
terrorists

Remind me again what that war was about if not oil and lining the pockets of companies associated with those in power...

" This is not a hydrogen-powered truck - it's a solar-powered truck...I find it annoying when people refer to hydrogen as an energy source."

I salute you on your willingness to bare your modest intellect for all to see. While I would normally recommend some time for reflection before posting, it is nonetheless refreshing to see someone willing go out and make the rest of us feel that much smarter.

I think that George W. Bush did think that the intellegence was correct. It all depends on whether you think incompetence or greed was the main factor here.
