Looks cool. I'm just against hybrid cars, they create more waste and damage to the environment just to built them than it makes it worth to drive them. But hydrogen looks cool, but what about in the winter if your car emits water? You're creating an ice slick for everyone behind you.

You won't see it on the road just yet. The first problem is how are you going to fill it up? There isn't infastructure available at this point where you couldgo to a gas station and fill up your car with hydrogen gas. Another problem is that hydrogen is highly flammable but this might be a problem that auto manufactures have already solved. Another problem with hydrogen is that it is expensive to harvest hydrogen. You can use electrolysis, but this requires alot of enegy and it would drive up the cost. I definatly think that hydrogen fuel cell powered cars are the way to go and that more research money should be put towards making hydrogen a viable alternative to gasoline.
