Model U: Hydrogen …
Model U: Hydrogen Internal Combustion
The Ford Model U Concept is propelled by an internal combustion engine (ICE) that’s optimized to run on hydrogen fuel instead of gasoline. The engine is supercharged and intercooled for maximum efficiency, power, and range. Its emission of all pollutants, including carbon dioxide, is nearly zero, and the engine is up to 25 percent more fuel-efficient than a typical gasoline engine.

As for me I will be driving a Diesel pickup running on palm oil and algae oil gathered from local sources.

Not if you use …
Not if you use solar or wind to create the hydrogen, just a thought not sure if solar can do it.

To people who talk …
To people who talk about the cost of a hydrogen infrastructure I have this to say:

When someone first suggested electric lighting, people said ‘why have wires in our walls when we have candles?’

Of course it costs a lot more than candles to put those wires in our walls, and it is a lot more complicated, but could anyone go back to candles now?

dont be conned by …
dont be conned by the promise of clean air with hydrogen,the large majority of the worlds hydrogen comes from processes which CREATE GREENHOUSE GASSES! energy is only as clean as the means used to create it.
also in order to extract it you need more energy that you would get from the hydrogen you extract!
look up ‘the hydrogen hoax’ by robert zubrain for the details. peace, and please do not be conned by the hydrogen SCAM!!

People are misled …
People are misled in thinking of hydrogen as an energy source rather than and energy storage device. But this and electric vehicles both allow freedom of choice in the original energy source.

That’s a good point …
That’s a good point Timmy Tabs. I remember my Dad said that when light bulbs were first becoming popular, many people said they would never have to sleep again because inside their houses, it would always look like day light.

When Benjamin Franklin invented the lightning rod, there was widespread opposition because many people said it was against the will of God. Then lightning his a church in Italy that was full of ammunition. Boom baby! That changed many people’s minds.

like i said,quote; …
like i said,quote; “the large MAJORITY of the worlds hydrogen comes from processes which create greenhouse gasses” if you bothered to read the article you would see exactly what i am talking about.using the other method which you are referring to is called ‘electrolysis’ this method IS clean and does NOT create greenhouse gasses.HOWEVER,you have to produce elctricity and amperage for this to happen.more energy is used to extract the H2 than the H2 produced will provide. kinda silly eh? peace
