Actually, Shai Agassi will very likely develop workable models and grid. There was an excellent article on him and the project "A Better Place" in the September 2008 issue.

To see how close to becoming reality this is, I encourage everyone to read it. Here's a link to the online version:

Here is a little something i came across a few weeks ago.
It is about how California tried too push the hydrogen cell car by using public figures like A schwarzenegger and promoting it as if it had advantages compared to electric battery car. it is a ten part video .

Well who knows? If hydrogen is cheaper to produce, non-toxic, more efficient. It could be better...

But it still takes electricity to make hydrogen and most electricity comes from coal-burning plants, nice try Arnie!

Well now, with the $10,000 incentive to buy electric cars our government is proposing, this is really starting to sound nice.

I just don't like the idea of fully automated battery switching stations... I know I'd end up wrecking my battery somehow if it's automated
