Honda is using a fuel cell on their truck while others are modifying Diesel engines to burn hydrogen .

Seems Iceland has switched much of public transportation and public owned vehicles over to Hydrogen as main fuel source , so it's being used on daily basis .
Not much said about electric charging and lithium battery fires , or the weight and range from vehicles so equipped .
The full EV fiasco reminds me of the CFL lightbulb idea , YOU must change over all your bulbs to CFL to save the planet . EXCEPT call a Has Mat team if you break one as they contain Mercury and other harmful thigs . They don't work in cold , and the life is rated at 3 hours or less use per day .

Hydrogen ? The Earth has a nearly ENDLESS supply !!

Simply put two electrodes into a pail of water, and put power to the electrodes.

one make Oxygen, the other hydrogen. EASY

OK, to POWER the system, connect a few windmills and solar panels

There you go...... totally FREE energy !!!!

hmm.. glanced at the 'specs'....

WHY does a 'hydrogen powered ' truck need a 120KW high voltage battery ?

Wonder how much heavier the truck weighs ?

What's it cost to tow it when the fuel runs out ?

YEP... put $2. of POWER IN and get $1. of Hydrogen out... NOTHING is "FREE"..

Screw the green energy fad.

Stick with reliable traditional fuel.

Trying to reinvent the wheel is REDICULOUS!
