Over the weekend I heard good news even though its about 3-5 years old.It seems that Iceland is trying to wean itself away from oil and natural gas by going over to hydrogen gas.Since they have so much geothermal power to generate electricity with .They are looking at getting the hydrogen by splitting water into h and o.The push was on to to develop add on hydrogen systems for any ICE powered car in the world.It seems that Germany is leading the way in hydrogen powered cars.Alan Alda was talking about it on a show on PBS tv.triffid

The show stated too that the car companies are determined to push us towards using hydrogen even though a battery powered car was developed with a 300 mile range.A two seater named the x-zero or x-one.triffid

I tried to find some info on that two seater but could not.I did find info on Stan and Iris Ovashinsky.More than anyone else they may pave the way towards us using hydrogen gas to get around on.triffid

I found bad news on Stan Ovshinsky's "half the cost of regular solar panel" solar panels.Read it and weep.Corporate greed triumphs again.Triffid
