I was about to say sorry Belly, but then you have to try to put the boot in. However I will simply say it was a rather foolish comment, appealing to the authority of Japan. A simple lefty attitude, which makes the left look stupid.

Yes Bazz, I know Honda spent a small fortune gambling on the success of their research on the hydrogen fuel cell, then bailed out before it sent them broke.

I know nothing about hydrogen, but isn't there an ever present danger of it going bang?

Yes, that is why you cannot park them in underground car parks.

//Anyone with enough math to make change from a bus ticket, & is interested enough to do a little research knows that it takes more energy... to produce a liter of ethanol, than the energy it can provide//

Well, yeah. Because if it was the other way around, it'd break the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.

//The fundamental problems with hydrogen are that it liquifies at -268C and is highly explosive.//

"To exist as a liquid, H2 must be cooled below hydrogen's critical point of 33 K. However, for hydrogen to be in a fully liquid state without boiling at atmospheric pressure, it needs to be cooled to 20.28 K (-423.17 °F; -252.87 °C)."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_hydrogen

Are you sure you're not thinking of He, which liquefies at -268.9 °C but isn't highly explosive because it's a noble gas?
