An average car costs almost $1 million - I find it hard to believe that mass production is going to reduce that to less than $30,000 any time soon<BR/><BR/>I believe it will just take too long and be too expensive to make the hydrogen economy a reality quick enough. <BR/><BR/>That doesn't mean I don't think the world shouldn't strive for the hydrogen economy. It just means that I think that America desperately needs to end foreign oil dependency first and foremost.<BR/><BR/>Plug-in hybrids, diesel-powered hybrids, and other experimental hybrid vehicles can end foreign oil dependency much sooner at much cheaper costs.<BR/><BR/>Additionally, hybrid cars can provide much of the foundation for fuel cell vehicles.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately, are fuel cell vehicles even required for basic transportation?<BR/><BR/>I'm starting to think not. I think that fuel cells make great sense for more powerful applications, such as - as crazy as it sounds - flying cars, aircraft, spacecraft, etc. I'm just not convinced the are the best option for automobile transportation in the next couple of decades.Dahcredynshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17687525897516386077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9844581.post-1125023137718911322005-08-25T19:25:00.000-07:002005-08-25T19:25:00.000-07:00I've been orn between support of the hybrid and just saying "let's go hydrogen". <BR/><BR/>Check out this article on the latest british bikes, http://www.associatedcontent.com/content.cfm?content_type=article&content_type_id=8900.
