Today I read that the University of North Dakota has solved the hydrogen
infrastructure problem. You can read about their work here:

http://www.undeerc.org/news/newsitem.aspx?id=340

I poked around their site a bit without finding out what happens to the
carbon. Obviously making hydrogen from gasoline and ethanol doesn't address
the peak oil problem or the ethanol acreage problem, but it may mitigate
climate change. At a minimum, solving the infrastructure problem will let
hydrogen powered cars move mainstream while alternative techniques are
developed.

If its SO GREAT then why don't manufacturers do it? they'd sell every

You just claim you can do thing without resources. Any one with common
sense knows that's impractical.

Here's the thing, when I drive behind you, all you do to me is giving me a
bad look and accusing me of driving aggressive when in fact you're driving
a turtle that sucks all your gases. The mistakes you made are:

1) You bought a turtle hybrid, unsafe, not enough room.

2) You made the Japanese rich because they do the same thing we do, they
call theirs a hybrid. We call it ours a Tune-up.

This old fart would like to have their patent number. I'm always looking
for a sure-fire investment opportunity like, for example, buying my Prius.

Where is your documentation? How does your claim work? If there is
nothing concrete for others to look at, then the old saying "A fool and
his money are soon parted". Trust is earned, not sold on a soapbox.

Thus demonstrating that you don't know anything about hybrid vehicles.

Thanks for proving that you are a charlatan and a fraud.

*** Some companies just turn an alternator into a DC motor and
call their vehicle a hybrid.

Ted is right, ask yourself how often do you brake any way? 5% of your
whole trip? That's why you don't gain much from your heavy batteries. I
take it Michelle works for a car dealer.

Perhaps, but Toyota isn't one of them.

And yet again, you show that you don't know anything about hybrid
technology.

By the way, "Ted" had no chance in hell of winning that bogus law suit,
as clearly explained at the URL you so kindly provided:

We scoff a bit because Honda doesnšt set the figures on the sticker,
the Environmental Protection Agency does.. Wešre no legal experts,
but we donšt understand how an automaker can be at fault for being
forced to put EPA figures on a sticker. The EPA also admitted that
the tests that led to 2007 and earlier figures were not accurate and
instituted new tests, resulting in lower mileage figures.

Mileage also varies due to driver habits, especially with hybrids.
Automotive journalists can tell you that driving a car at its limits
for a week wonšt return the normal day-to-day commute numbers that
owners experience.

> I take it Michelle works for a car dealer.


Wrong again.

If you had any sense at all, you would know that no one here believes
your malarkey.

Um, she doesn't now nor has she ever. Anyway, do you think it's good
advertising for your business to antagonize people around the world?
Every time you post here, you damage your reputation, if that's even
possible anymore.
