Combined Gasoline/Hydrogen Fuel Station Opens

Posted by michael on from the energy-milestones dept.

98neon writes "This story from Yahoo! News tells of a Shell hydrogen refilling station that has opened in Washington D.C. Six minivans will be the only vehicles refuelling anytime soon. Apparently some of the neighbors are concerned about having a large tank of hydrogen near their homes. Oh come on, what is there to worry about?"

    These people live in the murder capital of the world and they're worried about the most abundant substance in the universe. Sound's like DC to me.

    People who think they know everything really piss off those of us that actually do.

    "Currently hydrogen *does* involve sending money to totalitarian regimes, since we make it from oil"

    Can't believe I forgot to address this. You really DON'T know what you're talking about.

    Currently, the 2 main sources are natural gas (not oil like you said) and electrolysis. We also use wind, solar power, and biomass. NO significant amount of hydrogen is derived from oil. While there may be companies using oil, I am not aware of any. Not one. Look it up, and you'll see I'm right.
