a few years ago a couple went out to dinner. later that night the babysitter called and asked if she could put a sheet over the clown statue in the kids bedroom. the father said "get the kids out of the house and I'll call the police. we don't own a clown statue." it turned out that the clown was a murderer escaped from jail. if you don't repost this message on 10 videos the clown will be in your bedroom tonight at 3am with a chainsaw sorrry I did this I was scared

a huge issue with hydrogen for me is safety(crash bomb). Second you are dependent on someone to get it. the cost will be not much different then what gas is. which effects are markets greatly less money for the holidays or food. that means lay offs then people get poorer then less customers who can spend money then more lay offs. hydro only salves one problem but electric can salve more issues.

That's certainly the cleanest solution. Though it may be important to think about efficiency. Hydrogen is just a storage medium like batteries. Let's think numbers. How far would the available clean energy sources go with hydrogen versus batteries?

Affordable and modest lead-acid all the way! There's a safe and non-polluting way to deal with nast chemicals. Don't wait for "newer technology" - it won't be affordable.. Mother Earch needs us.

Until batteries are 100% recyclable, (HYDROGEN PRODUCED BY USING WIND, SOLAR, HYDRO, OR WAVE POWER!) is the only clean solution. Also with newer technology the energy conversion will be more efficient than in the past. Also batteries are made partialy from petrolium products and other nast chemicals.

[TheBishopSSR]

Current Li Ion batteries are almost 100% recyclable recyclable. Hydrogen HAS TO BE GENERATED using electricity, with energy conversion efficiency from electricity to wheel being MUCH LESS than that of pure EVs. Read up un facts.

ive don't a lot of work building my own ebike and I can tell you the estimates that they give are theoretical based the vehicle traveling on a flat surface with a fairly light passanger. If you live in a very hilly area then your batteries will drain much much faster. and also NIMH batteries will only last you about a year or 2 if you use the vehicle every day..

[atmor37]

EV's use battery power, and when the batteries are spent they can only recycle a percentage of the battery. Burning Hydrogen produced using renewable energy is the only clean solution.

[cant7think7clearly]

It's interesting to see people's creativity when it comes to finding things to burn for fuel. They're still operating with a last century perspective.

Pure EV's are the only clean option for the future.
