Lovely idea, but must cost fortunes.

I would consider one if the price was reasonable.

The point of all this is to create a car with zero emissions; or rather, the taxi does not have an exhaust pipe as it only emits water vapours.


I read somewhere that production of Hydrogen produces more C2 emissions than a normal Vehicle would use to travel the same distance..all because nothing is a 100% efficient and you can never get more out of a process than you can put in.


Its only green locally and the CO2 sh*te just ends up as somebody elses problem...its only Gesture politics and not a truly green solution..


Does Anyone know how Much a litre of Hydrogen costs and how well it compares price wise mile per mile travelled to a diesel engine?..and thats without taking in the prohibitive price of a hydrogen vehicle..

Then you read the first law of thermodynamics.
