Visit http://www.autonetwork.com to view the entire event. 2009 GM Collection was held at the Texas Motor Speedway and Alain Guidouix, Fuel Cell Activites, demoed the Equinox hydrogen fuel cell vehicle to journalists. Sept. 22-23, 2008.
i say build them.... if we all switched to hydrogen powered vehicles, we could eliminate global air pollution. everyone talks about saving the world but nobody really does anything and just by building this car could be the answer to many problems.
I'm no expert on this subject, but "electrolysis stations" (the use of extracting hydrogen from water) would eliminate (or drastically reduce) the need for drilling, refining, and transporting via semi-trucks, trains and boats. That would drastically cut the cost. Hydrogen now might not seem economical, but shelling out to build those stations would pay for itself in no time. Trouble (as always) is supply of electricity. Sea water is easy to pump in, but electricity takes generation.
And Honda isnt developing them for the same reason? And GM is up there with every other automaker in the nation begging for monney. Toyota got part of the first bit (the initial 700 Billion). And yes, all there plants must be in mexico considering the UAW is mostly in Detroit.
Perhaps you should listen as much as you type, GM is "Giving Them away" as a Media Ploy disguised as "Market Research" , they are not available to the general public, if you live in SoCal you can pick up a Clarity Right know. As far as GM building the Best I can't help but chuckle. If that is so why are they BEGGING Uncle Sam For money. GM spent all they resources on car's like the H2(YA 2 MPG) and their plants in Mexico (so very Patriotic)! Welcome to the New World, my friend.
WOOHOO! lets go spend a shitload of money for a bull-shit car! For added fun, lets drive 50 miles to refuel it! and honda isnt building any more of those for sale as GM is producing these to give away, and they arent developing it, they are just selling it. GM starts by designing the best than continues to make the best better.
Why does the journalist call it a hybrid? It is not it's a Fuel-Cell BIG DIFFERENCE! GM is still missing the ball, Honda has it available today in the FCX Clarity! Fossil Fuel is at it's end if the US has the Balls to make it happen!
electrolysis is kind of an inefficient process, no? a lot of heat generated
