Hydrogen Powered Toy Car
Harmonious Botch writes "CNN is reporting that Shanghai's Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies will soon begin sales of a tiny hydrogen fuel-cell car, complete with its own miniature solar-powered refueling station." From the article: "Automakers and energy companies view hydrogen fuel cells as a promising technology that could wean the world from its addiction to crude oil. But it's expensive and technological hurdles remain despite billions of dollars that have been poured into research."
Really, you are. China's going to be - fuck, it is - the new superpower. You're going to be stuck without a super-powerful military to protect you, forced to pay back the bottomless debts you owe to all the countries you've fucked over during the past hunderd years of the american century. Think of it! All the guilt, none of the physical force to push down the human slime that demand recompense. China's going to do the same - screw small countries into fueling its global dominance - but it'll take another hundred years before people start to automatically view it as the villian. You're there, gringos, and you're weak. You can't even take over a two-bit oil dictatorship! Shit!
All I can say is I'm glad I don't live in Kansas.
