Toyota’s rivals, including General Motors and Honda Motor Company, have set dates for when their lineups will be all-electric. However, Toyota has invested in a collection of models that includes hydrogen-powered cars and gas/electric hybrids, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Tons of talk about hydrogen cars in the comments too. Hmm.
Just the energy costs of liquefying hydrogen is more than the total energy gained by burning the fuel. I did an assignment paper on hydrogen as a fuel, and the only thing it remotely makes sense for is large ships ... that are shipping hydrogen.
Liquefying it is nuts. But there are a few better solutions on the horizon. Solid State hydrogen storage for example.
Apparently it's so good that the DOD put their patents on hold.
Due to these successes, Plasma Kinetics had to put its plans (and patents) on hold for nearly a decade because the Department of Defense wanted to gain a lead in applying Smith’s methodology to missile tech and other military applications.
If I could have something in my garage that charged up a big cassette that I could swap in I'd consider jumping on board.
Stuff like this makes me wonder what other innovations the government in general and the DOD in particular are squashing.

Hydrogen powered cars are outright idiocy.
