And if we could meet demand, how would it be done? Coal plants? Nuclear? And what consequences are we creating for ourselves by doing so? I'm not so sure electric is a panacea, but correct me if I'm wrong.
agree

Whats more some scientist in Poland made a calculation and it turns out that traditional gasoline casue less environment damage than hydrogen... Production process of hydrogen fuel emit more CO2 than production and usage of gasoline and disel

So does your BMW hydrogen7 is really environmentally friendly car?
