Let me correct my earlier statement. Hydrogen is typical produced using natural gas, not oil. But still the same problems. Also a lot of people talk about using nuclear energy to produce H2 from water. As IceGamer mentioned it's energy intensive to do. I ran the numbers once, someone...

90-95% of hydrogen is produced from petroleum. Mostly by steam cracking with the by product being CO2. Until there is a cost efficient alternative you're still dealing with the cost and political problems of oil.

Seriously, geopolitical, environmental, and economic pressures will end V8's and shortly after that most ICE motors. There may be niche consumers for renewable fuel motors but no auto manufacturer is going to build and maintain a separate design/production capability for a handful of...

Hydrogen doesn’t solve any problems. The most efficient source is from steam cracking petroleum with CO2 as the by product. Yes in an industrial setting you can capture the CO2 but disposal is problematic. You still have nitrous oxides produced during combustion. it’s a dead end unless you have...

On a plus note, all the "MT vs Auto" forum threads can be archived. Probably to be replaced by "Do you turn the rheostat with your left or right hand?"
