People are scared of Hydrogen for no reason. Sure it burns, but it needs oxygen. Gas burns too, and it contains some of the oxygen it needs.
The cnn article is fairly detailed and there is video. Crash tests show the Hydrogen simply dissapates in the air. The tank bursts, but there is no terrible explosion. Besides, it would be very easy to contain the force of a small pressurized tank like that.
When your gasoline tank ruptures you have spilled gasoline everywhere. It stays there, and if it doesnt ignite the fumes can still eat your brain.
In every way Hydrogen would be better.
The engines are basically the same. Of course there are modifications, but they STILL are capable of running on gasoline (if you need long range)
The artilcle states mass production of these vehicles in 10 years. I see no reason we can't make this happen in 3 years. Take the a couple of dozen billion dollars away from the fucking Missile Defense Waste and do something to make a better country instead.
And as far as making hydrogen... any 3 year old with a battery can do it. Its a perfect task for the sun, and there are dozens of ways to create the gas.
Just think about the resources required to sustain even the smallest 'luxury' hotel on earth. It would be very hard to accomplish especially since we can't even run a successful "Bio-Dome" experiment on Earth.
There are extremely few examples of self-sufficiency on this Planet. The very nature of our society is to NOT be self-sufficient.

You would have enough for the Solar Arrays.
Is that the only model you can think of? How about the Power Companies work with the contractors to build every house with Solar Panels. The trade will be you get free power from the, but they get any extra you produce.
I mentioned laws. EVERY house should have solar water heat. That is simply too inexpensive NOT to have in place BY LAW.
How hard would it be to require EVERY business to have solar energy use in some form.
And since you have no mind, I'll guess I'll just have to mention the fact that Solar Panels today are an investment, and are a large start up cost, and that should change. But the fact remains, that no matter how much the initial investment they will eventually pay back their cost. There is no way for you to disagree with that.
When was the last time you invested in a company producing panels? No fucking wonder they are expensive.

The reason you were in the accident is because you driving.
Maybe the person who hit you was angry because you were wasting gas in an suv, making the road unsafe for every other driver, and you look like a complete dumbass for buying one in the first place. Regardless of the fact that he was in one too. Where is the sport in driving? Where is the utility in vehicle too expensive and too fragile to be taken off road?

NO. If the shadow of the Earth is on the moon that is called a ECLIPSE as well.
