I watched this yesterday. It was really good but kinda depressing when they were talking about how slow the change will be. Of course money drives everything so maybe in a couple years it will be cheaper to produce and buy a hydrogen fuel cell car then your typical gas combustion engine.

Distribution is why a plugin electric makes a lot of sense to me.. not for everyone, but well over half.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

My vote is with electric plug-in over hydrogen fuel-cells or more hybrids. Horsepower for watt - the energy you get from your local powerplant is way cheaper and more efficient than any internal engine.

The problem is getting batteries to a point that they are cheap enough and can hold enough juice. Battery technology seems to be the bottleneck and has been for so many years.

battery engineering sucks balls

agreed-but there is that guy that built the on in Cali, that, regardless of the MPC and the price tag, blows doors off everything and had Indy drivers wanting more, more, more.....
Here's my prediction-
The planet will reach a point of widespread destabilization orchestrated by the brokers of currency and commerce, oil will be at the center of the worst of it, and government's coffers will be drained on more conflicts and wars in the middle east being used chessboard-styley by the most powerful....in the mean time, as has been for more than 3 decades, individuals, mavericks, will continue to invent in their garages and workshops, simple tweaks for cars already in production, and as always, will be made offers they can't refuse by the same people who want power concentrated in a small number of empire-minded cabals.

We will only see an end to the bullshit, that is fossil fuel for vehicles,(I say see, and "we", in the context of, it is already here, hidden,a "for your eyes only" scenario) when the economic manipulation, social engineering, and ever-increasing control over individuals with money as the fulcrum is taken down once again, as it has over and over and over again on planet earth-

Free energy would cripple the dealer, because his cards would be unnecessary.
Free energy is here and kept locked down tight-just as the planet's peoples are.

"that guy that bult the one in Cali"

those guys being Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning who founded
Tesla Motors in San Carlos, CA in 2003 and started production in 2006.

Tesla Roadster:

- Acceleration time: 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 3.9 seconds. Some prototypes and initial production 2008 Roadsters were limited to 5.7 second 0–60 mph acceleration.[7]
- Top speed: electronically limited at 125 mph (201 km/h)
- Range: 221 miles (356 km) on the EPA combined cycle

Jay Leno, car collector and auto engineering geek, gave it high marks so it must be good!

It would be nice if the free market did the work via competition instead of government idiots subsidizing ethanol and other unworkables.

Jay Leno agrees and wants all the fuel sources to fight it out.
