What's a "hydrogen car?"

[skooooo]

Have I missed something??

1. George Jetson drives one every day.

W watches every Saturday morning.

2. I s'pose it's like the Hindenberg with wheels.

Oh, the humanity! The humanity!

[Maple]

3. a car that runs on hydrogen

instead of oil.

Yes, we have them.

[tinanator]

4. its like a strategic defense initiative

only cheaper, cuz they dont actually want to build them. Just blowing smoke over those crazy solar power flower children terrorists.

5. They're trying to create cars that run on hydrogen cells

But most scientist agree on the same thing, which is why I found it odd that Bush was touting this so hard. They're probably not great. If I remember what I read recently correctly, cars that run on fossil fuels are about 50% efficient. The hydrogen cars are only 53% efficient. But, the real problem is, how do you get the hydrogen? You still have to harvest it somehow, and that takes energy. You can't create energy out of nothing.

6. I have heard talk that is where solar comes in

use solar energy to create and produce hydrogen.

15. He took all the money from research into extending mileage on cars

and put it on hydrogen cars instead his first year. I was shocked until I looked into it. There are several ways to make the hydrogen, and his bill made it use oil. So there will be no reduction in the use of oil in our country.

7. I think he actually said "hydrogen-generated car"

which I take to mean a car made out of hydrogen...:)

8. Look I support Kerry too

but we have vehicles that run on hydrogen, and no they don't use fossil fuels.

Please...the Democrats are supposed to be the party of knowledge and science.

9. not to my knowledge......please explain

[Swede]

10. We were all making a joke of W saying "hydrogen car"

of course everyone here knows what a hydrogen fuel cell car is.

[skooooo]

11. Well, I didn't...

...and frankly, it just sounded weird.

[JanMichael]

13. Why the fuck aren't they pushing cars that run on AIR??"??????????????????

Google "Air car".

I've about had it with petroleum,and other assorted proprietary type liquids/gases, period.

[Dem2theMax]

12. It's a car that is full of *'s hot air. ;-) nt.

[camero]

14. It runs on Pringles

It's just partially hydrogenated. :)

16. An excuse for more federal corporate welfare to automakers.
