this is an old video cause they already have all their city buses running on hydrogen and have hydrogen stations running... too bad how rich the USA is that the politicians are bought off we could change over in less than a year if we really wanted to

humans suck

for the rest of the world solar panels are the answer to hydrogen production, you can put them in deserted areas, in the sea, roof tops, anywhere.... we can fuel everything from sun energy...

@freakshow1997 Yeah but if your source to produce electricity is practically free, then it brings down the cost of producing hydrogen down. I.E. oil at 100$ a barrel and Heat from the earth's core at 0$.

Ah, if only the rest of the world could aspire to be like the Scandinavian countries...

I saw the first hydrogen bus in my hometown of Lund, Sweden yesterday. I got so happy =). The storage of hydrogen is somewhat a problem right now but i can really see this beeing the future.

it's a fact that this volcano they have going off right now will if continues to spew ash will drop the planets temp and global warming will be nothing but a footnote in history. THANK you Iceland for slaying the global warming dragon

@freakshow1997 Fuel cells have a definate advantage over electric cells as you can produce several times more energy per unit of weight.

[freakshow1997]

The whole discussion of hydrogen being a fuel or not is irrelevant, because you first have to MAKE it. This process must always cost more energy than you can get out of the produced hydrogen. In practice, TWICE as much. So an electric vehicle is a much better idea, for short distances.

yeah Alan Alda!!! HE should of won an oscar for his role in "the aviator",... he was brillant!!!

iceland is the is the greenest nation in the world,

not becouse of the colaps, but becouse the got

hot steam from earth to create hydrogen
