    Why hydrogen cars in the US are going to fail

    It goes on a lot more - though it's pretty evident, to most

    This article is just inaccurate blowing of hot air (value judgments on the part of the author). Let's get someone like Amory Lovins to give a more thoughtful analysis. We have not heard much from Lovins on FCEV lately, probably because the issue has become so polarizing.

    Well, not a direct quote, however Rocky Mountain Institute's cover page on Transportation Mobility mentions Electric cars and chargers, but makes no mention of hydrogen.

    The article does have a point that FCEVs have one, and only one, selling point.
