Hydrogen future doable, experts tell Congress

Technology exists today to enable Hydrogen Production directly at filling stations where we refill pour cars. One of many attractive benefits of this renewable energy source making Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines (HICE) more of a choice than an alternative. Why then the apparent rubbing off of the feet is happening on Nitrogen issue here in North America, has a lot to do with (Big-3)...

Hydrogen transportation technology issues are more involved then the article depicts.  There is no discussion about fuels cell stack life, which currently is averaging about 4,000 hours at best, but the requirement is 20,000 to 25,000 hours. The article assumes that hydrogen internal combustion engines (HICE) are not contenders, which may not be true in the short term. ...

By all expert opinions the viability for hydrogen as a significant part of the transport fuel equation is at least 20 years away. That should not be a reason to slow development otherwise, 20 years from now when we are going to have significantly higher need for this fuel source to offset more serious fossil fuel issues for transport fuels. Technologies for commercial production plants and investments...
