All ideas. One day there will be a hydrogen shortage - Oh! there is one now -
you don't say......!

The manufacturers are pandering to the whims of poxy politicians and the Green
brigade.

They might as well talk to the trees for what good it will do.

Hydrogen powered cars will never be viable due to cost and pissing about. What
happened to the Zeppelin - Wooosh Bang!

Now some bright spark that hasn't read this far down will tell us that it won't
be in the form of a gas but in liquid. Hmmm! Liquid Hydrogen - sound pretty
dangerous - explosive mixture??? They won't allow LPG powered vehicles on the
Channel Trains so what hope would drivers of H powered cars have of leaving the
UK or Europe.

You Yanks wouldn't have that problem as you never go anywhere (sic) that
involves ferries or tunnels to reach another country with your car.

Now jet fueled cars are a real possibility. Jet fuel is Kerosene or in its
normal cheap form Paraffin and you can easily run cars on paraffin. Needs a
slightly richer air/fuel mixture and a lower compression ratio but it works
quite well. the old flat-head Ford V8s used to run quite happily on paraffin in
the 1950s and I knew 2 people that used it to power their V8 flat-head
speedboats (hydroplanes) in the early 1960s.

Don't know how the CO2 emissions would be or if the UK Gov' would levy any fuel
duty/tax on the stuff but -- hey its and idea.

Explain to stupid no 2

Where do yo go to buy Hydrogen. How much is it going to cost? How far are you
going to travel on it? where is the spare wheel going to go? Ok no spare but its
all crap with a capital C CRAP.

Yes we need clean air but this pandering to the likes of Super Green man is
toss.

Do you realise that recycled printing paper (white) costs 3 x that of virgin new
paper that can be recycled and then it costs 3 x as much.......

Government dept's over here have cottoned on to that one. they state that this
is printed on recyclable material and cardboard boxes are made of the recycled
stuff as they don't need to be WHITE.

Cars are for transport - Ok buy a horse and then who clears up the horse shit -
you don't!

MOney Money Money thats what its all about

Look at Wall stree today - you poor buggers over there in USA.

Can't see the wood for the trees -------------- I do believe tents are getting
more expensive now that you'll all need them to live in soon.
