Would there be any harmful environmentally to having hydrogen powered cars?
Hydrogen power is ideal because when you burn hydrogen, you produce nothing more than heat and H2O condensate (water). In effect, hydrogen is the ultimate renewable fuel, since it can be electrolysed from water, and when burned, returns to its original water state. The problem with hyrogen is that it is the most volatile gas on Earth. It does not compress into a liquid form, as would be the case with LPG). Hydrogen under pressure in a motor vehicle represents an extremely hazardous fuel if an emergency situation should arise. There are currently a number of research institutes that are trying to find a way to incorporate hydrogen into an inert carrier, in order to produce a controlled release of gas, rather than the violently explosive release as is the case at present. Of course, the major oil companies would much rather supress the development of hydrogen powered vehicles because they’d lose their monopoly on the worlds automotive fuels industry. Favouring instead, the developement o
