From various comments/facts I've seen while scanning through the many debates on hydrogen, I am under the belief that it costs at least 1.5x the price of gasoline, not to mention that if the fuel cell vehicle ran off of fossil fuels, it would have only about 2/3 as compairable milege. I realize that is an apples to oranges thing, but that is my opinion from what info I've gathered.
Basically it consumes more of a more expensive fuel, but I'm guessing that since the best way to produce hyrdrogen is to burn hydrocarbon fuels AKA fossil fuels, the reason fuel cells haven't been tossed off as a total red herring to the future fuels problem is that Big Oil is really pushing for this to work, in hopes they can dupe the public into the "more demand = more production = lower costs" guise. Also adding to the dupe is the very promising allure of "0" pollution. This may be true, the car its self would be producing 0 emissions, but unless solar energy is used to produce hydrogen (and good luck with that, seriously, that would be amazing if that could produce a goodly amount), there will still be pollution. I'm a big fan the idea of home based fuels like biodiesel and homemade ethanol (the 180+ proof type, not that e85 bs), but those are my opinion

Wasn't there a Dilbert series about this exact idea a few years back?
I would totally use eHoo just on principle of the name.

So much for getting thanked for all the fish!

Make it Starcraft themed and you might have a hit ;-)
