Fuel Cell Car

[Frank M 181]

I saw a commercial last night for a fuel cell car from Honda that will be for sale in 2008. I was unaware that the technology had come this far. Exciting news, if you ask me.

I sure as fock didn't ask you. Did anyone else here ask Frank his thoughts on this??

[Frank M 181]

You replied. You're interested. Fock off.

 

 

Seriously.

[Mungwater 601]

I wouldn't call it exciting, more like "oh that sounds neat"

It has the potential to change the entire auto industry and radically reduce dependence on oil if it's done right.

Seriously.

 

Never said I wasn't interested, as I am in the fuels industry.

 

 

Also, excellent job on picking up on the sarcasm.

Great job picking up on the sarcasm aimed at your sarcasm.

 

Or do you need a smilie just to be sure?

 

Here you go:

In a place where one can't see facial expressions, like internet message boards, yeah....smileys do help to convey messages. Kinda why people use them......

 

Duh.

The technology has been out there for years. Gm did a prototype of what this is about 7 years ago and "leased" not sold like 500 of them or something. (might be more, can't remember)

Anyways, a buddy of mine was one of the ones that had one.

Ran great, no problems, etc..

When the lease was up he tried to buy it (according to him 80% of the people who leased also tried to buy), but GM said no to everyone and ended up crushing them. Go Figure

Go figure what? The day that the oil and gas industry allows a vehicle like that into the mainstream...

Very true

I think smilies suck, in general.

 

Except these two:

They have the technology and could have a while ago to move us away from oil but the buisness generates so much money and the Oil companies wield tremendous power.

 

Actually GM has a fuel cell concept car as well that self recharges or something and goes a decent speed.

 

Within around 50 years the oil production in the middle east , Venezuela , and Russia will peak and the same thing will happen there that happened here when Oil production peaked in the 70's - there won't be anymore oil. Then and I believe only then with fuel cell cars go main stream - maybe even something to do with Cold fusion as well by then.

I actually think it will happen before then. Car manufacturers want to survive past the point where gas is more than $5 a gallon and people can't afford to drive anymore. I think there will be a tipping point where they'll say FU to the oil companies and start really cranking out this new technology to ensure their own profits continue. I mean, they're advertising these cars, they obviously want people to start thinking about them.

Didn't Ijust say this?

 

[Cartman] I so hate you guys [/Catrman]

the govt receives over 40 cents for every gallon of gas we buy. they tout this environmental bs, but they don't really want us to pass gas stations in cars that get 100 miles per gallon, or don't even use oil based fuel any longer.

 

somebody posted a story here several months where a doctor found that the salt in sea water could combust. the link i posted earlier shows video of an engine running on coke and steak sauce and water and sugar, among other things, while emitting no pollution into the air. we could rid ourselves of foreign oil and algore all at once.
