definitely cool, but I still think electric is the way to go.

that is an electric car. the fuel cell makes electricity to power the motors that turn the wheels.
I hear they had a problem with that hydrogen shit. That shit goes up like a tinderbox…
One theory is that hydrogen will be safer than gas if punctured.
Gas leak = puddle on ground, then ignites
Hydrogen leak = lighter than air, floats away
I’m sure this can be counter pointed to death. (instantaneous spark, pressure vessel, omg nazi airship)

It was the paint that destroyed the hindenburg! Dont you watch myth busters?
Still… thats one fast hydrogen/electric car!
dude they got those racing hubcaps the prius guys were raving about on priuschat.

hydrogen is extremely combustible, but dissolves into other gases incredibly fast and becomes quite safe. hydrogen fires are often concentrated at the source of the leak.
