What’s The Future of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars?
I have to diverge from the answers provided by “dabeaner” and, less so, with hublim. As with any technology it’s expensive at first. Yes, even gasoline was expensive even though it was thought of as a waste product of oil production. A waste product? Yes, oil was originally used for lamps, not cars. With that said the oil companies knew they had a winner if they kept the prices down and the convenience up. If you think about it cars really didn’t “catch on” with Americans until after WWII. Before that much of the population used mass transit and only the upper middle-class and rich could justify car ownership. Hydrogen fuel manufacturing can be set up right where you buy your gas. They are already doing that, as a test project, in Greenland. The structure, though as large as a store, is nowhere near as large as an oil refinery. The real problem is storing hydrogen in the car. And the best way to do that right now is with a metal-hydride matrix. More hydrogen can be stored this way than
