Fuel Cell Powered Scooter

!Freeky2BGeeky writes "In an article by Fuel Cell Works, Samsung Engineering announced that they've developed a Hydrogen-based scooter which can go 140Km on 6 liters of hydrogen. The downside? The process that produces the hydrogen uses a component in short supply."

Scooters? What about bikes?

The downside is that there are only about 300 million tons of sodium borate worldwide, located mostly in Tibet, and that annual global production of sodium borohydride stands at 10,000 tons, it added.

Well, instead of driving around on scooters, why do you people start realising that there is a good healthy (*gasp*) to get around town or the country...
It's a bike! Yes, it never needs sodium borate/fuelcells/solar energy/fusion or compact nuclear reactor cores. Bikes use devices that are called LEGS. You never need to refuel them once in a while and they don't cause meltdowns.

Oh yeah, and it keeps you fit. Riding with a bike to work is an excellent outdoor fitness which doesn't even cost you a yearly subscription or special equipment and trainers (like some fitness centers do) and it is as effective for your health as running your *ss off and even having to pay for it each year!

And why do some people think that your country leaders will start fighting a war in the countries who happend to have tons of sodium borate when there are plenty of alternatives worked out right now. But then again, you will start fighting a war to possess those alternatives as well...
