> Correction: Hydrogen-Fuel Cell not hydro-electric, this is road driving not the hoover dam hehe ;o) I just read too by the way that the Hydro-Fuel Cell cars will be in mass production in 2010?? Oh I can't wait.. I want one..
FP: I think I have seen that car on television and it look so futuristic. They even said that they can make it changeable tops, since everything is on the bottom and doesn't take much space. Could you believe that! Do you have a link for this car, so I can see it is the same car that I saw on TV. The one I saw was silver or gray colored. I thought it was fascinating. I was wondering if that man is driving one of those cars in front of the cameras, why can't they put them on the lot now?
FP: Thanks for reminding me of my choices and the benefits of my alternative choice to the HEVs. Do you remember who is going to make those cars?

> > But you're still using gas and electricity. Don't we want to get away from relying on oil and electricity? The power blackouts in California should be taken as fair warning to what we're facing. This oil war on Iraq (which sits on roughly 20% of the worlds oil reserves) is needless to a world who doesn't need extreme amounts of oil to keep the wheels turning. Hydro-electric cars are still a step ahead. Their only emissions are water for christs sake, what could be better? They're also silent, being as they are not bound by the internal combustion engine -- mmmm diodes, its a beautiful thing. Hydrogen is the universe's simplest element, with each atom composed of just one proton and one electron. It is nature's most abundant element as well, accounting for more than 90 percent of the observable universe. In fact, atomic hydrogen accounts for more than 30 percent of the mass of the sun! Of course, being so abundant it would be difficult to sell hydrogen refills for the kind of costs that fund these oil company CEO's fancy cocktail parties, but what gives?
FP: I hope it will be successful. Instead of just gas at the gas station, it will become a hydrogen and gas station, until it is converted to a hydrogen station completely? What if the water is contaminated by poluters, will it still work? I think that will be a great invention!!!
FP: How did the black outs in California came about?

> > > > We are posting about Hybrid cars on the Chat board also. I have found a lot of research on the topic and it is quite fascinating. Yahoo have alteast three groups on the topic. I joined two of them. I think people should take the time out and explore this topic. Hey, you can get up to $2,000 tax deductiable on this wonderful fuel effiencent car! Their general name is called Hybrid Electric Vehicles, and they are awesome!
> > > > Do you know we could get a good insurance rate on this type of car? I think I am falling in love with this type of car. My Froggy has a Green one. Toyota Prius. He is such a smart guy to buy this type of car! It is an amazing smooth quiet car, like riding an air plane in the air, yet I can't believe it, I am still on the ground.
