Check out this video clip of an extremely fast and zippy hydrogen powered BMW on a racetrack. Uber cool.
Meanwhile, while you're daydreaming, check out ANWR oil drilling debate on the Alaska National Wildllife Refuge. It won't be until 2014 when oil production begins. Plenty of time to get the hydrogen, fuel cell or hybrid cars developed. But yet people were screaming thinking that the Alaskan oil pipeline would destroy or ruin the ecology across the Alaskan landscape and affect migrating caribous and the population? It affected them alright. They prefer to sit near the heated pipeline during harsh winter months while warm oil courses through the pipes allowing exposed grasses beneath the pipeline as well as a source of warmth. And wouldn't you know it, the caribou population has gone upby 400% ever since the oil pipeline was installed in the early 1970s.
Go figure.
