President Bush, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the big automakers agree on this much: They love hydrogen-powered fuel cell technology and its promise of a zero-emission, petroleum-free future.
Unfortunately, experts say it will be 40 years or more before hydrogen has any meaningful impact on gasoline consumption or global warming, and we can't afford to wait that long. In the meantime, fuel cells are diverting resources from more immediate solutions.
"As a climate strategy, it's not very good," said Dr. Joseph Romm, executive director of the Center for Energy and Climate Solutions and author of The Hype About Hydrogen: Fact and Fiction in the Race to Save the Climate. "We don't have the time."
Climate experts and alternative-fuel researchers, including some hydrogen proponents, agree that hydrogen is at best a long-term solution. In the short and medium term, however, other technologies offer far greater benefit at far less cost: Cleaner internal combustion engines, hybrids and plug-in hybrids.
That information comes from Wired - link attached above
So, it's not much good getting all 'fired' up about zero emissions just yet as we need better solutions faster, we just cannot wait 10 years.
He's just cautious, but likes to call the shots. I always let a cat sniff my finger, it came to me instinctively but I can generally pick a cat to be cautious of, I don't know why but many are unfriendly nowadays, they never were when I was young, except wild ones from the bush who took a bit of taming.
Let him come to you next time.
I think there are a lot of unfriendly owners around.
Plus too many restrictions on animals, thanks to the irresponsible owners who want their dogs to be vicious. Like them.
The best mate of someone I know was killed in a road smash, it was just plain awful, a huge wake up call. Stats never tell ot the real horror of these things, only people can do that.
