Hydrogen highway 30 years away?
"BMW says hydrogen-powered cars are 30 years off, at least in terms of being available to the masses—and yes, I know, they just introduced a hydrogen-power 7-Series model. This 30-year prediction is much more pessimistic than the already pessimistic GM's 10-year prediction." (more)When such a time frame is realized, it seems obvious that everything that can be done today, better be done today. Hybrid cars offer huge gains in efficiency, they can utilize any of the alternative fuels being developed including hydrogen, and hybrids can help develop fuel cells. Or, we can just wait 30 years.

Hydrogen power is a reality now!
The vehicle needed now coverts distilled water. The water passes through a seperator, the hydrogen and oxygen is metered into a gas turbine engine and ignited, the turbine drives a brushless generator, the electricity is fed by computer control to four (4) brushless motors, the wheels/tires are part of the brushless motor. The wheel/tire/motor is one unique design that propells the vehicle. The key is the "seperator" and does the work that a fuel carbrator used to do. The turbine exhaust emissions are water vapor. That is the vehicle that needs to be on the roads today!
I have one major concern: Should we really use water as a fuel source?
Also, can salt water be utilized? How much money does it take to convert salt water to distilled water because I would absolutely be against fresh water as a fuel source - at least until a feed-back loop could be created that would bottle our exhaust into drinking water.
How much would such a water-to-hydrogen powered vehicle cost?
Since companies like Honda are trying to push the hydrogen issue, why isn't water part of their Phill home fueling station plan?
