    "Hydrogen may well be the fuel to bet on in the long term. It is the most abundant and, all other factors being equal, the cheapest. Gas, ethanol, coal and organic waste can all be converted into hydrogen."

    "The more cars there are like the Hydrogen 7, the more infrastructure will slowly appear to support them."

    Sorry to rain on your parade, but hydrogen is not an "abundant, cheap fuel." Hydrogen is merely a carrier which must be produced from another energy source. I like the way the author of the article throws out that cheap electricity is readily available from (nonexistant) geothermal plants. Where did he pick that up? If geothermal is such a cheap and easy way to get electricity, why are we still burning coal???
