Has anyone seen the Hydrogen Vehicle commercial? Do you realize how silly it is?

There was a commercial on about a hydrogen vehicle touting how the exhaust is just water with a bunch of kids saying H2O.

Reality Check – Hydrogen is an energy vector, not source. This means that basically the hydrogen is not taken out of the ground, it is made through electrolysis of water which is done by using fossil fuels. Basically you are still using fossil fuels and polluting, its just not coming out of your tailpipe.

It seems to me they are trying to suck in the less informed that they are essentially not polluting or contributing to “global warming” in some way by using hydrogen cause only water comes out of the tailpipe. What do you think?

Basically I think Hydrogen is pointless . . .

Have you all seen the Yahoo home page today?

I’m all for reusing and recycling, but all of this “go green” and “sustainability” is going too far. I mean there’s “eco friendly” paint, carpet, hybrid cars, long life lightbulbs, etc. It’s nuts! I shouldn’t have to be forced to go green. It should be my choice. The Earth has been here for a billion years. It will survive. Your thoughts?? No smart asses, please!

Does it do any sustainable damage to cars seen at many dealers on some sort of ramp or ?? 30-40 degrees?
